It's useful to start thinking about AI not as artificial intelligence, but rather an alien intelligence. As the technology develops beyond our initial designs, it may one day surpass our understanding. Watch the whole @BigThink interview:

Artificial Intelligence may not be up for the Fields Medal any time soon, but it may act as an intermediary for mathematicians working on proofs. However, something is lacking for AI to get down to it. Terry Tao looks to the positives. Full lecture:

Why do people idolise corrupt leaders? It's not about intelligence nor is it about a lack of morals, its a bit more complicated. It's not straightforward as you think. Understanding will help to educate our society and improve it. Read the below👇

It's worth emphasizing that our own Director of National Intelligence, our top intelligence official, says the number one threat to the US is not "white supremacy," but radical Islam.

What will artificial intelligence do to society? The legendary filmmaker James Cameron predicted AI fears & has used the technology in making films. He worries less about AI launching nuclear war & more about what thinking computers could do to human society & our mental lives

Elon Musk: Artificial intelligence will continue to scale until we've harnessed all the energy of our galaxy. “I think we'll see intelligence continue to scale all the way up to where most of the power of the sun is harnessed for compute, and then ultimately most of the power of the galaxy, sort of Kardashev 2, Kardashev 3 scale compute. One should think about artificial intelligence, not as a destination that you reach, but really as part of the overall escalation of intelligence that we are aware of. Human intelligence has also scaled as the population has increased and we've been able to store more and more information.” Interview at the All-In Summit, September 10, 2025

In our day, with social media, artificial intelligence, and all the technology of our modern age, it is very easy to be misrepresented or to misrepresent the intent of others. Let us be determined to be completely honest and most generous as we speak of others.

Not just young children… but “adults” who act like children in the comment boxes who cheered for an Artificial Intelligence video by PDJT of Obama getting arrested, but can’t handle the facts of the same AI App showing Charlie “shooting” as 100% Artificial Intelligence. 🤭💯

Nick Bostrom says the human brain is not the ceiling for intelligence Our brains are small, slow, and limited by biology, while machines can scale far beyond those constraints "in the long run, cognitive systems could surpass not only any individual human, but even our collective intelligence"

In the gospel workshop I hosted about hearing God’s voice in an age of artificial intelligence, I invited viewers to take specific actions to deepen their relationships with God, self, others, and the natural world and environment around us. In a world of accelerating technology and artificial intelligence, may we never lose the divine intelligence that matters most—the voice of God. Learn more about hearing God’s voice in an age of artificial intelligence:

📁 Ray Kurzweil, futurist and AI pioneer, says we will not coexist with artificial intelligence, we will merge with it. The boundary between biological and computational intelligence will vanish to the point where the origin of an idea is indistinguishable. Today we still know when an answer comes from an external model. In the future that difference fades completely. Thinking with AI will feel the same as thinking itself.

The message from Gautam Adani is clear and urgent: At the inauguration of the Sharadchandra Pawar Artificial Intelligence Centre of Excellence (AI CoE) in Baramati, Gautam Adani delivered an address that went far beyond technology. Colonisation today won’t come through territory. It will come through data, narratives, and cognitive capture. AI has the power to reorganise our memory as a civilisation — what we celebrate, what we forget, and what we believe. India must step up not just as an AI user, but as a guardian of its cultural and philosophical heritage in the AI age.

We can understand and use artificial intelligence (AI) and other technological innovations in the context of faith. We are not afraid of AI, nor do we think it is the answer to every problem. As we work hard and smart, AI can be a valuable tool to enhance, but not replace, our own efforts. When we receive wisdom and understanding from God, we can begin to see as He sees—things we would otherwise not understand.

As AI reshapes our world, we must ensure it benefits everyone – and that it is accessible and safe. The first global scientific body on artificial intelligence brings together independent experts to assess how AI is transforming our lives and how it can serve the common good.

I spoke at the Munich Security Conference about the need to regulate artificial intelligence so that it doesn't destroy jobs and poison our culture. Our voluntary helplessness in the face of this earth changing technology is disastrous and unnecessary.
