John Lennox is an Irish mathematician, bioethicist, and Christian apologist. He has written many books on religion, ethics, the relationship between science and God, and has had public debates with atheists including Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens.
In this lecture, mathematician and philosopher, Professor Emeritus John Lennox (MA, MA Bioethics, PhD, DPhil, DSc) of Oxford University, will introduce some of the key developments in technological enhancement, bioengineering, and in particular, artificial intelligence.
He will discuss the current capacity of AI, its advantages and disadvantages, the facts and fiction, as well as potential future implications, including the trans-humanist project. Dr. Lennox is convinced that the Christian worldview, properly understood, speaks powerfully to our technological age and provides evidence-based credible answers that bring real hope for the future of humanity.

Such a small percentage of people are involved in this important conversation about AI. I pray for benevolent people to surround the conversation about the development of AI

What can I say about this wonderful discourse?! Thank God for giving us people like Dr John Lennox!!! Long live man of God!!!!! I want to translate it to Amharic for my Ethiopian fellows and share the transcript, if I'm allowed. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

The generation that is reaching middle aged is perfectly poised for this. We've engaged with these concepts since childhood, with Skynet and Shodan and the Patriots and the Laughing Man. This is our Normandy, the bursting forth of the human soul against the fascism of technocracy.

Playing God with humanity has never worked out well for the ones guilty in the past. It won't be this time either. He who refuses to learn from history is doomed to repeat it. Utter fools rule our planet who believe themselves genius.

Thing people don't think about is..... that God is in control, and will end this at will.
-
John Lennox is likeable, he's more likeable than any other scientists/philosophers/scholars in this modern era..

Absolutely fascinating, terrifying, and hopeful all in one discussion.

2084???? Looking around at the world and consulting the Bible, convinces me that we'll be lucky to get through the next 7 years - 10 years absolute TOPS. Love John Lennox, Great man! The human world is falling apart quite nicely on the timeline! Then..... True Hope for the future of humanity, with the One and Only possible Leader, in charge of a functioning, peaceful world for the next 1,000 years. 🎈🎈👍💥 .

Very high and one of knowledgeable source of wisdom, a brilliant mind, a servant of truth. To GOD be the GLORY.

John Lennox reminds me of C. S. Lewis.
-
Maybe we should keep an eye on those WEF people, such as Yuval Noah Harari, who seem to be attempting to bring about the Beast from Revelations?
-
I won't be around then, I will have served my time on earth, years before that date. Thank God!
-
its amazing how Dr. Lennox reconciles the challenges in AI/AGI with the Spiritual matters like the Resurrection, Christian Faith, and Faithfulness to Jesus

This is the best talk I've ever heard from John Lennox. It's a really scary talk but I believe he is pretty much spot on! It's just very worrying for my beautiful Grandchildren to be living in the world envisaged by JL. I'll be ok because I would have passed on by then and as a Christian I hope that I will be allowed into heaven by that time, but hopefully Jesus would have returned before the world JL describes actually happens. Praise the Lord. 🙏
