Can AI Be Sentient? Aquinas & the Soul2:53 – 10:41

Jonathan FialaHost

Anyway, so with that said, AI.

Jonathan FialaHost

2:56

AI.

Jonathan FialaHost

2:57

I think one of the most important issues of today is the new, I would say, fourth industrial revolution that we are living through right now and what it portends for Christian ethics, for workplace ethics, for the ethics of art, and for the ethics of business.

Jonathan FialaHost

3:18

This is something that everyone is thinking about right now as companies are spending billions Billions and billions every year on AI.

Jonathan FialaHost

3:29

And so we as Christians should have, and conservatives, we should have well-formed opinions on this.

Jonathan FialaHost

3:35

So the one thing that I always get asked is, will AI ever become sentient? Thoughts? Will AI ever become sentient? I have a no.

Jonathan FialaHost

3:46

I have a maybe.

Jonathan FialaHost

3:48

What do you think, Mr.

CharliePanelist

Producer? No.

CharliePanelist

3:50

No.

Jonathan FialaHost

3:51

And I'm going to make an argument that ontologically, so that's a fancy word for the nature, if you're looking at the study of what is in essence and being, ontologically...

Jonathan FialaHost

4:11

In fact, it can do such a good job that it is no longer distinguishable from...

CharliePanelist

4:33

Was it because man was getting to that point of knowledge? Was it—

Jonathan FialaHost

4:38

Well, I think what they were really looking at doing with that was they were saying, we're going to survive the next flood.

Jonathan FialaHost

4:44

We're going to build—and so here's a real question I have.

Jonathan FialaHost

4:48

There is something interesting about the concept of certain spaces have— softer holes in the matrix of reality.

Jonathan FialaHost

5:00

There are people that propose that.

Jonathan FialaHost

5:01

In fact, especially the spiritualists say that.

Jonathan FialaHost

5:04

But you look at Mount Horeb, you look at Sinai, you look at these places where God repeatedly shows up over and over again, it's interesting, the transfiguration of Christ.

Jonathan FialaHost

5:14

There are places of significance.
