Will you actually be left behind if you don’t embrace A.I.? And as Christian’s, how should we engage?

Today’s conversation is part 1 of 2 with Doug Smith, a Christian, author, and software engineer with over 30 years experience.

Doug will remind you that God created you with unique gifts and purpose. We were never meant to outsource that, especially to a machine.
