Deus Ex Machina
Paul Bloom, a psychology professor who studies moral development and belief, and Sigal Samuel, a journalist on religion, ethics, and AI, discuss AI’s role in spiritual life. They explore chatbots writing scripture, clergy using AI, why humans anthropomorphize machines, whether AI can be morally formed, and if machines might develop curiosity or spiritual yearning.
