With AI, artificial intelligence, now nearly ubiquitous, many people are beginning to think more seriously about the morality, both the good and the bad, of this beyond-a-brave-new-world technology. A recent report indicated that AI is going to be used to translate the Bible into some of the 6,000 languages that do not have a copy of Scripture. On the other hand, reports are also coming out that some AI technologies can’t clearly give a definition for woman and declares racism is a more dangerous threat to humanity than nuclear weapons.

This is a reminder that just because we can do something, doesn’t mean we have a moral imperative to do it. It’s also a reminder that parents need to be proactive and get at least a modicum of understanding about this technology and start discussing with their children the limitations of AI and its inherent dangers, as well as how it might be used for good.
