\nDon\u2019t worry, ChatGPT told us to just trust the robots\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a shockingly short period of time, AI has gone from tech novelty to a part of our everyday lives. More industries are incorporating AI into daily workflow so that employees have more time for creative work \u2013 at least in theory. Roxy\u2019s and Katelyn\u2019s respective professions (journalism and book publishing) are still figuring out the ethical boundaries around AI.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, we\u2019ve all seen the dark side of these tools: deep fakes, chatbots encouraging users to harm themselves, and platforms overrun with AI slop. Do these tools portend a bright new age or civilizational collapse? We hash it out, with minimal help from the robots and a lot more help from a leader of a D.C. think tank helping to create policies that keep these powerful tools in their place.<\/p>\n

GUEST: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Meredith Potter<\/a> is executive director of the American Security Fund and the American Security Foundation, the latter of which works to ensure artificial intelligence (AI) is understandable, controllable, responsible, ethical, and human-centered<\/a>. She is a Term Member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a double graduate of Yale University (BA, MA).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That’s why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)\n<\/p>\n

\nBut, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That’s why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we’re a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
