Morning Joy

Nick De La Torre interviews Caleb Mitchell about what the ultimate purpose of life is. As a pipewright, Caleb has great insight into what it takes to force ourselves to slow down and remember that we are made for eternity, not for productivity. At the same time, he calls us to a crucial understanding that leisure is not mere laziness, and relaxation is not mere distraction.

Instead, he gave principles of human dignity to safeguard our use of A.I., because it is a tool that takes on the characteristics of its developers and users. In this segment, Nick De La Torre discusses ways that Catholics can benefit from A.I. instead of becoming mastered by it. Joining Nick is A.I. power-user and early-adopter, Edmund Mitchell from the Faith & A.I. Project.  ~~~ Morning Joy, Where Truth Matters Hosted by Nick De La Torre Weekdays starting at 6am Central From the Guadalupe Radio Network www.GRNonline.com/Joy Also heard on:  Catholic Spirit Radio - https://www.catholicspiritradio.com  Our Lady of Good Success Radio Network - https://kcrd-fm.org
