God, AI, and the End of History - John Lennox

In this interview, Peter Saunders, CEO of ICMDA, talks with John Lennox about his recent book God, AI and the End of History: Understanding the Book of Revelation in an Age of Intelligent Machines. How do recent developments in technology—specifically the rise of artificial intelligence—parallel the biblical account of Revelation? How should Christians respond to technology that advances at an unprecedented pace? If you're questioning AI and curious about what the Bible, prophecy, and emerging technologies reveal about end-time events, join us for this timely interview.
