In this episode, I’m joined by the Right Reverend Steven Croft, the Lord Bishop of Oxford. Our conversation explores the philosophical and ethical questions that arise as generative and agentic AI becomes more deeply embeddedin our lives.
Together, we ask:
· How is AI reshaping the meaning of being human?
· Can faith traditions offer wisdom for this newtechnological era?
· What does responsible AI governance actuallylook like?
· And how do we ensure AI serves human dignity, not the other way around?
Steven brings a rare and thoughtful perspectivebased on a wide range of experiences from his work in the House of Lords to years of theological reflection. He reminds us that AI doesn’t exist in a vacuum: it’s changing how we understand truth, trust, and each other.
“The development of AI will inevitably force humanity to reflect more deeply on what it means to be human.” Steven Croft
