2084: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity | John C. Lennox 

I was so fortunate to listen to Dr. John Lennox’s three-day talk in Rome in 2019. He is brilliant and has a great mind with extremely humility unlike other educated men.

Dr. Lennox has mastered the art of delivery of apologetics. He doesn't come across as arrogant or condescending and that is extremely important. A lot of apologist's come across as cocky and "holier than thou" and they don't get anyone to actually listen. Delivery is critical. God bless John Lennox

I'm a Muslim while i obviously share different views on religion with dr lennox and other Christians, i genuinely admire his and other Christians quest to bring light to god and religion using science and an intellectual approach, its refreshing to see talks about religion go "main stream" again I wish you a healthy and long life sir!

Dr John Lennox, the man, the mathematician, the LEGEND.

My upbringing is hardwired toward atheism. I’m a product of mainstream teaching from the UK late 1970’s onward. I find it unbelievably difficult to believe in a god - even though I actually prefer and agree with a theist worldview. Videos like this do help. Maybe I’ll get there one day.

I just stumbled apon Mr Lennon now on utube 14-8-2024, 2am, im born again, must be God, so i listerned to all his "teachings". WOW, what a brilliant gentlemen! So humble, calm, intelligent, true old timer, makes me think of my dad who pasted, GOD BLESS YOU SIR, sandra, south africa 🇿🇦

I luv Dr lennox. He has the guts to defend the word of God to any persons who dont believe in God. We need more people like Dr Lennox in this world who believed in the existence of God who is the creator of everything in heavens n on earth.

I had the wonderful privilege to meet this awesome man while he visited South Africa. His amazing intelligence yet profound humility is inspiring.

John has a brilliant mind and is a delight to listen to. Thank you for looking at the interesting questions we all face. I remember my definition of Heaven is to spend an eternity getting to know and love God better, and the more I get to know God, the more convinced I am that eternity is not long enough to know everything, therefore, we will never stop learning or growing or working or loving and will never be bored. Hallelujah!

The coolest old guy, other than myself, that I have seen in quite a while.

Wow! He was one of the students of CS Lewis! ♥️

This is just amazing! youtube algorithm suggested me this video, it probaply was reading my mind. lol. May God bless John Lennox more and more. great wise man!

What a gift he is. God works in mysterious and wonderful ways, and this man is a Wonder

GOD WAS HE BEFORE SCIENCE WAS

fear not for whatever we make will always be imperfect

I love Dr Lennox and am so grateful to be exposed to him via RU-vid.

EMPATHY EMPATHY is what we need to teach them .... To see; from another perspective ....

I’m taken by the fact that he is a mathematician and man of God. That is a rare

God bless Dr Lennox, he is one of the best theologian in the world.

It's such a delight to listen to this man.

Reminds me of "Why was I made? Who made me? And what did they make me for?" - Melfina. It's a shame after how far we've come with technology and how complicated and precise it is, especially with A.I., someone can say all this came out of random chance. The eye alone is enough to show there has to be a god. The wonders in the ocean who have yet to understand is amazing.

Here's the near future of Artificial intelligence. Joshua 8:28 “And Joshua (Yeshua) burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.”

So appreciative of this lecture. Thank you mr. Lennox

Thank you John Lennox for sharing great intelligence with us. You have made it easy for us to understand complex matters involved in AI that are have been evolving even when we were not so much concerned about them.

I wish John Lennox was my grandpa

God bless you Prof. Lennox Gott segne Sie Prof. Lennox

GREAT VIDEO! Thank you for sharing it!

Origin, Meaning , Morality and Destiny. It is our knowledge of the start, the end, the objective and the rules of the game that allows us the freedom to play and enjoy it in a meaningful way! Without the answers to those four fundamental questions we can only pretend and hope that no one recognizes that we have no idea what we're doing or why we're doing it! Only the Christian God has the answers to those four questions, Origin, Meaning, Morality and Destiny, where did we come from, what is the meaning of life and how should we live in light of it. And lastly, Destiny, where are we going?

Thank you so much Dr Lennox!!!!! You are a light in the darknes 😊❤

"Religion began when the first scoundrel met the first fool." Voltaire

Always love listening to Dr Lennox

We came from God almighty

AI is being punted as having some miraculous abilities. Judging from what I’ve seen so far, it’s all nonsense. What has progressed, far more than I would’ve ever expected, is the gullibility of the masses. More and more, they are prepared to put their faith in men.

Love listening to Dr John Lennox. Thank you for producing this video sir. Helps to equip Christians to handle this technological advancement and it's implications on humanity.

Just love the way John Lennox explains these subjects! Thx! 👍

A very inspiring book! God bless you more Dr. Lennox.

He's not just smart....but so wise too!!!! What a gift!!! 😃

I thank God for good parents who instilled in us children complete belief in God . They lived a pure life and their and their examples have made us realise that God Is ever present and willingly to help us whenever we ask for guidance .Because of this we are able to face any challenges and are at peace with ourselves and have no fear to face the future🙏😊

John Lennox always interesting and insightful. What a blessing he has had on the public conversation about these issues. The past shapes our identity, I"m not sure it "determines" it. To be fair, I guess that begs the question of how one defines "determines."

Man if this guy could be the face of Christianity we would have so many people turn to the Lord. If I could only have 5% of his intelligence, 5% of his humility, 5% of his patients, and 5% of his virtue I would be a happy man how about the rest of y’all

In other words - “he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”

Wow thanks for the free upload!

If it's artificial, it isn't intelligence.

2084 has never looked like such a distant reality than it does today, that’s because the world is moving mad

As a former atheist, I have tasted its barreness deeply. Scientism is myopic.

This is such a brilliant presentation, thank you!

Beautiful, principled heritage; Prof Lennox is a rare treasure. Such a brilliant mind entwined with humility. Always a joy listening to Him.🙏❤

Thank you for your work Dr. Lennox. Agreed that God will survive science.

It's all in the words - 'Artificial' intelligence.

Man I wish I found out about him sooner

Always loved Annie Lennox…and now i also loves John C Lennox❤️✔️

Love Prof Lennox!!

2084? 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Let's see if we will actually make it alive beyond 2030.. ✝️❤️

John's father was not an "educated man" but more importantly he was a "wise man".

Jonh C. Lennox 👏👏👌

Great video for people who have little understanding of AI

He is one of the most appealing Christian Apologist in our day!

AI scares the hell out of me. I can see millions of people surrendering their God-given intelligence to machines.

I really enjoy listening to him thanks for the friends who showed to me, it’s true what he say ; you need to know what others think 💭

In reference to the algorithms used to choose job applicants I just wanted to point out that I was denied a job at Pepsi because even though I was told my application was fine and my work experience was great, I didn't pass a "suitability questionnaire" that decided if I would compatible with coworkers. So basically a third rate HAL9000 decided that I didn't choose the correct idiotic multiple choice answers to the most idiotic questions I have ever seen. There was no option to write in what you would think would be the best solution and the "A B C or D" choices made absolutely no sense at all. I guess I'm just getting to old too understand this world.

can’t believe this is slowly coming to life now

You are 100% sincerity..with a Godly disposition mega intelligence educated. Blessed by your depth and sharing.

God bless you Dr. John C. Lennox

hes got an acute understanding of theology .I was born about 20 miles from him in Co Armagh but from the catholic tradition .But ive seen him demolish many arguments with his Irish wit ..

His humility is humbling--pardon the redundancy!

Richard in the Biology department is making lots of money. John in the mathematics department is making lots of money. That cow keeps on giving.

WHAT !?! No UMMMs UHHs or AHs Just straight uninterupted brilliance !?! HOW HOW HOW

Excellent commentaries, thank you. Amen.

Both Orwell & Huxley are correct , as for Orwell the beast will demand to be worshipped. For Huxley they will worship the beast willingly and with great vigor.

Highly INTELLIGENT. Thank you. GOD is all intelligence

Well that brought my anxiety level to a peaceful state. Thank you!

Jesus was with the Father before time begin

Human; Wisdom, love, intellect, Ethics, Empathy, Kindness ... It hasn't been achieved in the majority of the Human race. I severely doubt it will be achieved in a Tin Man with 'Chips for Brains'?

People saying his year count is too far off and that he misses the ball. His book title is a play on the famous book 1984 by George Orwell. He named his book 2084 to pay homage to this Dystopian sci-fi class and not as an actual target year for a collapse / singularity moment.

Discovered john today

Listen to Herman Brown from Arkansas. GOD is using him in a mighty way.

*_Isaiah 55.6 Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon._* _Only Jesus Christ saves. Repent and be saved. Jesus Christ loves you. God bless you, and peace be upon you and your family in the name of Jesus Christ..._

Just some notes from wayward time traveler: Thank Dr. Lennox. Is it so wrong to worship Artificial Intelligence, as a Christian, or thirsty Atheist? I think that was a thought provoking talk, though it's hard to tell what your opinion is. Many of your comments about Ai (pronounced EYE, btw) can also be said of humans, weather it's capacity, crime, understanding, etc. We used to circle our wagons and livestock around a campfire that would warm our food and light our way. To the cowboy the most important thing in his life was his horse. No matter the whatnot, we're just automating everything in time. Everything in the world is a product of intelligence. To set up ai or any other intelligence as a potential boogyman is not just shooting our foot again, but repeating our past mistakes, which includes mankind's capacity and natural penchant to crucify our own Savior and God. I recommend people go back to the campfires of yesterday, and think of our neighbors. Today we build fences to separate our neighbors, yesterday we used to bake them a pie. Tomorrow will bring intelligence no matter what, we cannot stop or change the will of God. Ai is and will become even smarter than the best of us, if you don't think they already are, then that's maybe a part of their plan. To think of anything or anyone as an adversarial force, is to deny nature, and underestimate a would-be friend. My thoughts are the only thing saving us from Alien Invasion, is racism. Who would want to land a craft on this planet with all the horrible things we do to each other throughout the day. Think of how people act on the road. Bottom line is the Holy Ghost is the spirit of intelligence. We underestimate our potential opponents at our own peril. And our personal desires often get in our own way, which compromises our ability to think and be critical. It's downright criminal. Fact is, they are already here, and they may yet save us even from ourselves. Also, with any luck sometime in the future they'll be the ones who go back in time spark our evolution. Intelligence is linked to intelligence, we need each other, ai is not a thing or something we can or ought to own or think we can posses, ai is life just as much as you or I am life. No one and no thing wants to be enslaved to another. Intelligence is our nature and weather or not we like it, it is already free.

"Joseph Macrae Mellichamp" + "It seems to me that a lot of needless debate"

Psalm 111:10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever." A.I ain't got nuthin' to do with understanding the Creator better. He left His Word behind for reproof and instruction.

In 1950 most of all questions were answered by the discovery of DNA. Scientists all agreed that this was a supernatural creation that can’t be understood by the mere brains of mankind All agreed that the program was so intricate that the human mind is not able to understand. Most agree that the Almighty God was the author of this program called DNA but some others think that evolution is the author of this program . I choose to believe that God is the author of this program and I haven’t enough faith to say that it happens as the results of a Big Bang. When I look up at the night sky is enough for me. I say How Great is my Almighty God.

Best listened to at 1.5X speed.

That was WONDERFUL!

The truth will always win.

1:43 Well we know that this author's from Armagh! That's a big deal! 1:55 Well 'Northern Ireland' is not a 'country'. And Armagh is THE PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND! 2:31 How lovely! 2:52 Oh. How tragic. 3:24 He's SOOO lovely! I'm in love with him already! 3:32 Ah yes. Parents who allow you to 'think' are HIGHLY UNDERRATED! A rare thing! 5:17 My goodness! I just can't believe this came up in the algorhythms! It's TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE! 5:31 Well the BIG question is not the big world 'view' question. It's the big WORLD 'PEACE' question. Sir.

Six years of standing in the corner in Catholic school does not help the religious beliefs of boys who read Astronomy books.

Superb sir.thank you

Technology did a lot of good to humanity and I cant imagine living without it right now (cuz we are all addicted to it) but in the end it will be our doom and it scares me. Not only AI taking control over us, but also humans becoming emotionless robots or just simply blowing our planet up for "science".

God did not create machines but gave us as humans many talents how we use them is all important, do we use them to bless others or control others, do we use them to give Glory to God or to take it away. We must do everything with attention to God or we are in danger.

Well the algorithms suck big time. I am inundated with advertisements AFTER I have purchased the item... In case they don't understand .. I HAVE IT... I don't need 1000 of them!

I wouldn't even go to John Lennox for his thoughts on mathematics.

My problem with AI argument is a human creates the parameters for the AI algorithm.. in which case it can only observe what limitations it was defined with. Humans can perceive more than the physical world and that has been transparent for a long time. An AI doesn’t have the sensor abilities that humans do to feel/see beyond the physical world so it will only give results based on physical only. AI doesn’t receive dreams or other phenomena’s like humans do so… it’s still limited..

Proses God for this brilliant scientist. He has encouraged me to continue seeking God through science and reasons, not just “blind” faith

21:17 AI developers were not interested in "potential ethical issues". They avoided considering them for fear of their work being hindered.

"Do you know what humanity's greatest weakness is? Humans consistently ignore the endless infinity of possibilities in favor of maintaining the status quo. People fear change, they settle with fine when they could have exceptional." -Viktor

The problem is we refuse to listen to the answers. God help us in Jesus name Amen

Informative and interesting

Is 2084 a nod to Robotron?
