WOF 393: Mrs. Davis, Algorithms, and God

Friends, my favorite current TV show, “Mrs. Davis,” features an adventurous nun, a search for the Holy Grail, and an all-powerful algorithm. It also raises many interesting questions about artificial intelligence, God, free will, and our mystical union with Christ.

In today’s “Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt and I discuss these themes and more.

(NOTE: This episode does not contain any major spoilers so it’s safe to listen before watching the series.)

A listener asks, is artificial intelligence a threat or an opportunity for evangelization?
