The Human Algorithm: The Image of God in an Age of AI with Trevor Sutton

  • Carnegie Mellon Univeristy Baker Hall A51 (map)

No RSVP Required

“Emerging technology is problematizing our understanding of what it means to be human. Increasingly sophisticated tools—VR headsets, generative AI, chatbots, machine learning, autonomous vehicles, and automation—are at the center of a modern anthropological crisis. Across the spectrum of society, emerging technology is generating fear about future human irrelevancy or even extinction. Will technology replace humans? Can our own human making someday make us irrelevant? Will technology eventually put humans out of a job?” - Trevor Sutton

Join Beatrice Institute and our co-sponsors, Lutheran Student Fellowship and Veritas Forum, for a discission on humanity in an age of AI featuring Dr. Trevor Sutton in conversation with Dr. Grant Martsolf (Pitt, Health Policy Institute) and Dr. Larry Heimann (CMU, Information Systems).

Dr. Sutton is a pastor, professor, author, and speaker interested in the conversation between technology and theology, and the intersection of digital and cultural rhetoric.
