    Episode #37 Trailer “Christianity vs. AGI” For Humanity: An AI Risk Podcast Jul 15, 2024
    Show notes

    In Episode #37 Trailer, host John Sherman talks with writer Peter Biles. Peter is a Christian who often writes from that perspective. He is a prolific fiction writer and has written stories and essays for a variety of publications. He was born and raised in Ada, Oklahoma and is a contributing writer and editor for Mind Matters. The conversation centers on the intersection between Christianity and AGI, questions like what is the role of faith in a world where no one works? And could religions unite to oppose AGI?
