Artificial Intelligence, Creativity, and the Human Difference

The latest Science Uprising episode is out and what it has to say is important. From the late Stephen Hawking to Elon Musk, some of the smartest people on Earth have issued warnings about the looming danger posed by artificial intelligence.
Not only is AI an amazing technology, they say, with the potential for uses both good and bad, but it threatens to replace and destroy humanity. The media love this particular concept and continually seek to scare us with it. Why?
The episode calls out the idea for what it is: applied materialism.
Materialism is the denial of a spiritual reality. It animates Darwinian thinking, and it drives the panic about AI.
After all, if humans are no more than “meat machines,” then a superior machine, equipped with AI, could well choose to do away with us.
However, as four notable scholars explain here, AI runs on algorithms, which are essentially a recipe. AI does only what it’s programmed to do.
Humans transcend algorithms. We do things that computers will never be able to accomplish:
Interviewed for the episode, Robert J. Marks, John Lennox, Jay Richards, and Selmer Bringsjord have profound things to teach.
Dr. Marks, for example, is a renowned computer engineer at Baylor University who directs Discovery Institute’s Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence. He says that by its nature, AI is locked in a silo or box where it exercises its ability to run algorithms.
Creativity, not mere copying or following commands, entails thinking “outside the box.” That’s how it can surprise us with genuine novelty. It’s why new ideas often come to us from out of the blue: not summoned but given as an unexpected gift.
This, too, may be why artists notoriously live disordered lives, and why totalitarian societies are typically poor in art (as distinct from kitsch or propaganda) and in creativity generally. The regimentation is not compatible with giving free rein to the human difference.
It’s something to think about as rule by authoritarian experts becomes more and more the expectation in our own culture. Young people especially need to understand this. Watch the new Science Uprising now and share it.

Will Artificial Intelligence Take The Place Of God In Today’s Secular Society?
As I’ve said many times before, technological innovation is Satan’s chariot. We must stay vigilant and know how to walk amongst our brothers and sisters without crossing the boundaries God set for us. Artificial intelligence technology is far more powerful than the human brain. It can be uploaded into robotics to learn tasks, or provide knowledge. How easy would it be for an already secular society to forget about God with all knowledge available to them through a complex metaverse? The following article details how Wallace Henley, Christian Post columnist depicts our society to come living alongside super-intelligence. Stay inquisitive in the word of God, and the world around you. We have entered a new age in which we can go into the quietness of our rooms and slip into whatever identity we desire—virtually. Artificial intelligence is fast becoming a…
