6/4/20261 hr 26 min
Is AI being built to replace God? Oxford mathematician and Christian Apologist John Lennox reveals why Silicon Valley's biggest promises are just old prayers, why no machine can ever replicate your consciousness, and what it means to be human when AI can do almost everything you can!

He is also the author of books such as ‘God, AI and the End of History’ and 'My Story: A Spiritual and Intellectual Autobiography'. He explains: ◼ Why scientists predict humans will merge with machines and where that leads ◼ The eerie list of AI promises that sound exactly like the promises of God ◼ Why AI will wipe out your job and what it can never take from you ◼ What makes you irreplaceable when AI can do your job better than you ◼ Could John be wrong after 70 years of believing?

I love when a company takes something that everyone has accepted as being fixed and completely redesigns it, which is exactly what Lufthansa, today's sponsor, has done with its Lufthansa Allegris business class cabin. It is stunning. Instead of having just one type of seat, Lufthansa Allegris business class has five completely different seats, each engineered around a specific need. So there's one built purely around privacy, another with a bed that's over seven feet long, and one designed around having even more space to work, eat, and think. You're essentially getting to choose what your journey needs to be before you even board the plane. And that level of thinking runs throughout the entire Lufthansa Allegris experience. An airline actually asking you, "What does this traveler need from their flight?" This idea that your seat should fit how you travel, not the other way around, is a surprisingly simple fix to something that the industry has never bothered to solve before. Anyway, it's called Lufthansa Allegris, and if you fly a lot, it's worth looking up. Visit lufthansa.com and search for Allegris to learn more. That's spelled A-L-L-E-G-R-I-S. Lufthansa Allegris, all it takes is a yes. Limited availability on selected routes with more routes coming soon.
