•  Does religion have any business in business? •  “It really comes down to ethics”   (Total Recorded Time is 15:00)  Artificial intelligence, also called AI, “lacks consciousness, self-awareness, emotions, and subjective experiences, which are fundamental aspects of religious belief. AI cannot genuinely ‘believe’ or ‘practice’ religion in the way humans do,” says ChatGPT when asked to write about AI and religion.   But what does a human religious scholar and entrepreneur think?  “It really comes down to ethics,” says Philip Blackett, an author, consultant and entrepreneur who previously has worked with FedEx, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Chick-Fil-A.  “AI is a technology that isn’t inherently good of bad. It just depends on the person who uses it,” says Mr. Blackett, who got his Masters of Divinity degree from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and his MBA from Harvard Business School.  Philip Blackett is our guest in this episode of Bizgnus Interviews. He is the author of six books, the newest of which is “Disagree without Disrespect.”  For more information:  www.philipblackett.com
