What happens when artificial intelligence meets ancient wisdom?

In this episode, hosts Tom Levinson and Amber Hacker talk with Colin Evans, a tech innovator and AI investor whose journey spans Buddhist monasteries, Catholic churches, and Silicon Valley boardrooms. Colin shares how his spiritual roots inform his work at OpenAI, and why he believes AI has the power to free people–not just to do more or make more money, but to live more meaningfully.

From saving money on school supplies with ChatGPT to exploring whether efficiency is a spiritual value, the conversation dives into how technology can both challenge and deepen our faith. Along the way, Colin reflects on the “missionary” founders shaping AI’s future and the spiritual questions that surface when machines free us from work.
