In this episode, Bishop Thomas Dowd, a former telecom employee turned Catholic bishop, dives into the intersection of technology, ethics, and faith. From his early days coding in the 80s to being one of the youngest bishops in the world, Bishop Dowd brings a unique lens to artificial intelligence, consciousness, and human purpose. We explore AI’s potential to shape (or distort) human relationships, the spiritual risks of synthetic intimacy, and whether machines could ever possess souls or moral agency. A rare, unfiltered conversation bridging theology, philosophy, and cutting-edge tech.
