AI & THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY | FILM DIRECTOR TOM COZENS ON THE IMPLICATIONS OF AI

Join Jasper and Michelle for an incredibly powerful conversation with Tom Cozens, film director and founder of Owl in Space, as they explore the world of artificial intelligence, the race to superintelligence, and what it means to hold onto hope in Christ when technology threatens to replace humanity.

We also discuss Tom's latest short film, Moloch, which explores the systems that drive humanity to sacrifice what matters most in the pursuit of competitive advantage, and how Christ offers a radically different way. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/Q4aUidMZxbs?si=ExDXgCL2eQzrLdPn
