The artificial intelligence revolution has implications for all of us. What will the year 2084 hold for us humans? Are we doomed to the dystopias of George Orwell’s "1984" or Aldous Huxley’s "Brave New World"? Or will it be a trans-humanist utopia? 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.
