Faith in the Age of AI: How Technology is Reshaping Reality
AI is no longer just a tool—it’s changing how we understand intelligence, free will, and even spirituality. In my latest video, I explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, theology, and the very nature of what it means to be human.
What I Cover:
The AI Leap: From Algorithms to Anthropomorphism
We’ve long lived with AI in small ways—predictive text, recommendation systems, and search algorithms. But modern AI isn’t just making suggestions; it’s starting to feel real. Why do we instinctively treat it as conscious? And what happens when it surpasses our ability to understand its own decisions?Theological Disruption: Can Faith Keep Up?
For centuries, Christianity adapted to scientific revolutions, from the Enlightenment to quantum mechanics. But AI presents a different challenge—it forces us to rethink consciousness itself. Is AI merely an advanced program, or is it something more?The Transhumanist Question: Are We Creating a New God?
Some of AI’s leading developers openly talk about their work in theological terms, claiming they are "ushering in a new intelligence." Others predict catastrophic consequences but feel powerless to stop. Is AI a modern Tower of Babel?Free Will, the Soul, and the Illusion of Choice
As AI models our decision-making, we’re forced to confront an unsettling question: Do we really have free will? Or are our choices just complex patterns that AI can predict? I explore how pre-modern Christian thinkers wrestled with similar ideas—long before neural networks existed.The Coming Crisis: Faith in a Post-Human World
AI isn’t just reshaping how we interact with the world—it’s redefining personhood. If an AI can learn, grow, and even seem to develop independent thoughts, what makes us unique? As the Orthodox Church experiences rapid growth, is its mystical, pre-modern worldview better suited for this moment than Western rationalism?
Why This Matters
We are at a turning point. AI is forcing us to reexamine theology, consciousness, and reality itself. Can faith adapt, or will it become irrelevant in a world where intelligence is no longer uniquely human?
