SmithHumanity is always longing for some kind of magic; technology gives them that. – Joshua K. SmithWhat we envisioned about what AI would be today was wrong. – Joshua K. SmithI'm hopeful for the future of AI. You can misuse any tool, it depends on the human, not on the tool. – Joshua K. SmithThere is also false information that can come from AI. It's not a magic cure for everything. – Joshua K. SmithChristians are guilty of deciding what something is first before choosing how to treat it. I think that's wrong. Instead, treat things ethically regardless of what you think it is. – Joshua K. SmithWe don't feel judged by robots. – Joshua K. SmithOur mandate as Christians is to make things that lends toward flourishing. – Joshua K. SmithAI is free for you right now because you are being experimented on. – Joshua K. SmithJoshua K.

Do robots and artificial intelligence have anything to do with Christianity? For Dr. Joshua K. Smith, the answer is unequivocally yes. Joshua is a pastor, theologian and author of “Robot Theology” and “Robotic Persons,” two books that explore the implications of robotic technology and the potential of dehumanization as we become more and more reliant on artificial intelligence. In this episode, Joshua explains why it's so important for today's leaders, especially Christian leaders, to talk about these issues. He also discusses some of the ethics of using the data available to us as business owners, and how to do so without being manipulative.  www.missionandmargin.co

In the near future, there will be a society where we all live among robots. They will be utilised for war, work and sex. In this future, we will need to reexamine how to maintain our human dignity. War without mobilizing humans can either turn us more vicious as we aren't the ones pulling the trigger. Needless to say about work; we are already experiencing the replacement for humans for robotic automation. Sex is a big concern, which I think may end our human civilization. How do we maintain our humanity among all of this radical change without us knowing how to prepare for this future? Am I being pessimistic or should I be having a different perspective. In this episode, I speak with Joshua K. Smith, a pastor and independent researcher who has written a book called Robotic Person - Our Future with Social Robots. We discuss what it is to be human in this time of age where we see this driving force to replace humans with more efficient and productive robots. Through his early adulthood serving for the country in the military, he has seen a different side of humanity and made him examine the ethical value of living with this human creation. Here in this episode we talk about;- What made Joshua Smith the man who he is today- Does robotic warfare dehumanize war- Radical shift in the way we look at jobs- How do we ready our philosophical way of life- Will sexbots end human civilizationGuest: Joshua Smith (Website)Host: Takatoshi Shibayama (LinkedIn | Twitter)Music: ShowNing (Website)

Many times people separate Science from Religion. It is either one or the other. Dr. Joshua K. Smith has a different perspective. Join me as I talk with the brilliant mind of Dr. Joshua K. Smith as we discuss the future of robotics, artificial intelligence, automated warfare and Ideology of AI and the oppression of algorithms.

This episode we are joined again by Pastor Joshua K. Smith, and we discuss Meta. The new virtual world by Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg. Don't miss this very important conversation.

In this episode we continue our conversation with Joshua about Robots, A.I. and a dive into trans-humanism. It get pretty nutty near the end. Come on in, learn, laugh and pray!!!!

In this episode with talk with Pastor Joshua K. Smith, Author of Robotic Persons: Our Future with Social Robots.ABOUT THE BOOK:Robotic Persons will introduce the evangelical community to the journey of Robotic Futurism and how current and forthcoming AI-driven robots will impact human value and dignity. This book will consider three key areas of robotic development and the existential risks on the horizon for humans in the fields of work, war, and sex. There are risks in the fields of work, because there is a temptation to replace human workers with automation. Current arguments for the benefit of war fighting robots posit that these robots will eliminate war and the risk of war, but there is much more to the story. Arguments for sex and companion robots proffer that they will benefit the fringe community or help those who do not have a relative to care for them, but again there are many ethical and philosophical problems with these arguments. Robotic Persons not only introduces the reader to these issues, but also gives an evangelical response to each. There is presently no evangelical work addressing these critical issues. Robotic Persons will argue that granting legal personhood to qualified robots will further prevent dehumanizing use of robots and protect human dignity and value.

What does it mean to be a person? Should we grant personhood to Robots? What might happen if we do?As we catapult ourselves into 2021 and beyond, we're standing amidst developments in AI and Robotics that are taking place at break-neck speed. As ethical, moral, and philosophical work lags behind - Joshua K. Smith is asking tough questions about how we should live with, and treat Robots.In this one, we talk about:What it means to be a personWhy it might be a good idea to grant legal personhood to a RobotUnderstanding how humans might treat Robots, with or without legal protectionsAn ideal futureFind Joshua:Website: https://www.joshuaksmith.org"Robotic Persons: Our future with Social Robots": https://www.amazon.com/Robotic-Persons-Future-Social-Robots/dp/1664219749/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/jksmith8806
