Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Staying Human Series EP#03 - Being a Person in the Age of AI - with Susannah Black Roberts
Q: What paths forward could be convivial and humane without falling into a Benedict Option-like withdrawal?
Engage in practical, shared activities—dinner parties, communal reading, neighborhood events—and avoid isolating retreat; use AI where it genuinely supports human connection and do not outsource essential human tasks.
Staying Human Series EP#03 - Being a Person in the Age of AI - with Susannah Black Roberts
Q: How might viewing humans as makers made in the image of a maker change our understanding of work in a productivity-obsessed society?
By reframing work as an expression of human flourishing and virtue, we emphasize craft, relationship, and the intrinsic dignity of producing goods and meaning, rather than reducing work to output or GDP metrics.
Staying Human Series EP#03 - Being a Person in the Age of AI - with Susannah Black Roberts
Q: Two linked questions: AI as a driver of GDP Growth—do you think AI will always push GDP up, or can it be used in ways that don't increase GDP at all?
There can be tension: AI may be used for efficiency or to free people from drudgery, but the primary decision remains whether the line goes up or not. Humans must consciously choose how to deploy technology, ensuring it preserves meaningful human experiences rather than simply boosting profitability.
Staying Human Series EP#05 - AI, the Future of Work and Christian Discernment - with Matthew Sanders
Q: What roles will forever remain human in an agentic economy?
The speaker believes that which human roles remain will be decided by design and culture, but core competencies include moral judgment, genuine presence with others, formation of conscience, and community-based living that cannot be replicated by AI.
Staying Human Series EP#04: Useful Lives - with Dan Hitchens
Q: Why is the six-month prognosis used as a threshold, and what are the risks associated with that criterion?
Because prognosis is notoriously unreliable, it can lead to people being offered an assisted death who may recover or stabilize, and it highlights how fixed timelines can override autonomy and safeguard concerns, making the policy more dangerous for vulnerable populations.
