Is AI being built to replace God? Oxford mathematician and Christian Apologist John Lennox reveals why Silicon Valley's biggest promises are just old prayers, why no machine can ever replicate your consciousness, and what it means to be human when AI can do almost everything you can!

Professor John Lennox is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University and President of The OCCA Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics. He is also the author of books such as ‘God, AI and the End of History’ and 'My Story: A Spiritual and Intellectual Autobiography'.

He explains:

◼ Why scientists predict humans will merge with machines and where that leads

◼ The eerie list of AI promises that sound exactly like the promises of God

◼ Why AI will wipe out your job and what it can never take from you

AI Expert Mo Gawdat returns to The Diary Of A CEO to reveal why AGI has already arrived, why 30% of jobs will disappear by 2027, and why the most dangerous thing about AI isn't the technology - it's the people in charge of it.

He explains:

◾ Why Mo actually wants a machine smarter than all of humanity to take control
◾Why Sam Altman said AI will "likely end humanity", and what he chose to do next
◾Why capitalism breaks when AI replaces the workers who buy the things we make
◾Why AI unemployment could trigger civil unrest before governments are ready for it
