Covers Genesis 1:26-2:3 and John 5:31-40.
The rapid rise of artificial intelligence technology can feel very hard to keep up with. It has powerful potential which can be received as either ready for amazing feats, or as set to overwhelm us into a dystopia. With something possibly seen as so all powerful, we can remember one of the best questions we can ask ourselves as people of faith is whether we are engaging with anything we come across as people of our own conscience as formed by God - rather than just getting swept along in either triumphalism or doom.
