What the Tool Makes of Us (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since I began writing this series, the argument about AI and authorship has resurfaced in a handful of high-profile pieces in The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and elsewhere. Underneath many of the arguments about authorship, originality, disclosure, and the ethics of AI-assisted writing, the hardest question is not simply whether or not using AI
I Saw the Future at CERN (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was invited on a tour of CERN this past week. As the only theologian in a group of innovators, founders, funders, engineers, entrepreneurs, and scientists, I found myself repeatedly explaining why I was so excited to be there.
