Description
Have you ever considered the uncanny influence of AI on human decisions or wondered about the role of math and physics in business? My guest today, Dr. Benjamin Harris, is here to shed light on these topics with his rich experience in artificial intelligence and machine learning. He dissects how AI is influencing human decision-making, the importance of understanding the basics of mathematics and physics, and how they can be a boon to businesses.
Our conversation doesn't just stop at technology and education, it takes a divine turn as we discuss faith. Drawing from his intellectual honesty and personal spiritual journey, Benjamin talks about how doubts can be a natural part of spiritual growth and how God is able to handle our questions. We also weigh the tension between Christian faith and secular institutions. This segment of our discussion is a testament to the importance of questioning and the belief that God is able to handle our doubts.
As we move further into our podcast, we dig deeper into the importance of reading classics and the benefits of physical books over digital ones. Here's where Benjamin shares some interesting thoughts on challenges in communication, underlining the importance of humility and grace when engaging in conversations. We also get a glimpse into his personal life as he recounts his experience of delivering three of his five children. To encapsulate all these fascinating topics, join us for a conversation with Dr. Benjamin Harris.
