Listen "A Tech Agenda for the Family, with Brad Littlejohn and Clare Morell"
Episode Synopsis
Technology, particularly AI, poses a threat to the necessity of humanity. We see this in students using AI to bypass learning, self-driving vehicles replacing human drivers, AI competing with medical diagnosticians, and tablets which aim to replace traditional teaching methods. The question isn't hypothetical – these developments are already challenging human roles in education, transportation, healthcare, and beyond.We don't just need to respond. We need a vision. We need direction. We need a New Technology Agenda that values the human person, and there is no value in persons if they have no place in families.A couple weeks ago, Brad Littlejohn, Clare Morell, and a team of others published A Future for the Family: A New Technology Agenda for the Right. It includes ten principles designed to serve the family.Add your name: https://afutureforthefamily.org/The Ten Principles (the original New Agenda as published in First Things). In today's episode, Andrew and Joel discuss this "New Agenda," how Christians working in technology could adopt it, and a way forward for a kind of limited dynamic innovation in North America.0:00 - Preamble2:08 - Intro to Brad and Clare4:06 - The Principles8:00 - The Government Against Innovation?
