S9 Ep954: Robot Theology, AI, and Sex Robots: Dr. Joshua K. Smith

Joshua K. Smith is a theologian and pastor researching the ethics of AI and robotics. He is the co-chair of the Kirby Laing Centre's Technology Hub. He is the author of Robot Theology: Old Questions through New Media.

Is it okay to punch a robot in the face? Questions like this launch us into a scintillating conversation about a moral theology of robots, including the growing phenomenon of sex robots.

Theology in the Raw Conference - Exiles in Babylon

At the Theology in the Raw conference, we will be challenged to think like exiles about race, sexuality, gender, critical race theory, hell, transgender identities, climate change, creation care, American politics, and what it means to love your democratic or republican neighbor as yourself. Different views will be presented. No question is off limits. No political party will be praised. Everyone will be challenged to think. And Jesus will be upheld as supreme.
