Episode notes
What can the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls in the Book of Nehemiah teach us about artificial intelligence?
Gerson Nazareth and Derek Desouza explore one of the biblical images highlighted in Magnifica Humanitas, drawing parallels between Nehemiah’s response to a city in ruins and the challenges AI is creating for work, relationships, community, human identity, and culture.
Rather than asking whether AI is simply good or bad, they consider a harder question: What must we rebuild, defend, and rediscover if technology is changing our understanding of what it means to be human?
