Why Some Believe AI Is 'Rebuilding the Tower of Babel'

Some believe artificial intelligence isn't just changing how we communicate. It's rebuilding the Tower of Babel. Lance sits down with Ben Peterson, author of "When Intelligence Isn't Human," to unpack what happens when a single technology can speak to every person on earth in their own language, and why he believes that's exactly the scenario Genesis warns about.

The conversation goes deep fast: an AI that refused to write part of Lance's own manuscript, the Pentagon's push to mandate AI training across the military, the arms race with China, and a young man whose family says an AI chatbot played a role in his suicide. Ben, who's ministered to more than 300,000 service members and veterans, explains why he believes AI is being built by people who follow moral relativism rather than a biblical worldview, and why that matters far more than most Christians realize. From there the discussion moves into Genesis 6, the Singularity, and what Elon Musk, Jeffrey Hinton, and others are already saying in public about where this is heading.

In this episode:

* Why Claude refused to write part of Lance's manuscript, and what that says about where AI is headed

* Ben Peterson's case for why AI is "rebuilding the Tower of Babel," and what Genesis says happens when humanity gains one shared language

* The Pentagon's mandate to train U.S. military branches on AI daily, and what that means in the AI arms race with China

* Why Ben says nearly 40% of millennials and Gen Z now turn to AI chatbots as often as they'd turn to a pastor

* Jeffrey Hinton, known as the "godfather of AI," and the warning he's now giving the world after leaving Google

* Genesis 6, the Nephilim, and why Lance connects that account to where AI and robotics may be headed next

* The Singularity, and why Ben compares the utopian promises behind it to the ones made by Hitler and Stalin
