A Framework for Digital Wisdom

Last updated on: May 9, 2018 at 6:16 pm By Bruce Baker

Back story: the quest for wisdom Our purpose in writing these columns is to grow in wisdom for faithful living in this digital age. More easily said than done! Wisdom requires learning, but is more than mere academic competency. Wisdom presumes purpose and meaning, which necessitate a worldview, but Christian faith is more than a worldview. Wisdom transcends categories. It is personal. It accrues through experiential learning. Faith is a journey, and wisdom accrues along the meandering, spiritual path of... Read more

A Theology of Technology for Work

Last updated on: June 5, 2018 at 9:51 pm By Michael Paulus

The period of technological change we are living through will have a profound impact on the future of work. As has happened before, new forms of work will become possible and current forms of works will be automated, adapted, and abandoned. Today is the Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker, the patron and model of workers, so it seems like a good day for a bit of theological reflection on the relationship between technology and work. (For historical background on... Read more

Two and a Half Cheers for “The Hacker Way”

Last updated on: April 11, 2018 at 3:17 am By Bruce Baker

In defense of Mark Zuckerberg, I would like to point out that he has remained true to his ideals. That shows integrity. He has also successfully maintained control of the company. That takes vision and fortitude. These are admirable virtues. No one should be surprised at anything Facebook has done or left undone. Mr. Zuckerberg spelled out his ethos clearly at the time of Facebook’s IPO in his personal letter to investors. In that letter, dated February 1, 2012, Zuckerberg... Read more

Right Wrong and Artificial Intelligence

Last updated on: March 1, 2018 at 11:18 pm By Bruce Baker

There’s no such thing as artificial ethics. “The information society is like a tree that has been growing its far-reaching branches much more widely, hastily, and chaotically than its conceptual, ethical, and cultural roots.” —Luciano Floridi, Information: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford, 2010) We can imagine the growth of artificial intelligence as a huge tree spreading outward in all directions. Its branches are bearing real fruit: AI is continually finding new ways to cut costs, save energy, cure diseases,... Read more
