Last month, Google’s Artificial Intelligence product, Gemini, reportedly wouldn’t produce images of white people, not even George Washington. This made concerns about AI more real. One of the biggest issues about AI is the difficulty of creating unbiased content. If programmers inject any bias, AI will rapidly take that bias to extremes. Imagine the disastrous implications.

The Senate has periodically discussed changing the workweek from 40 hours a week to 32 hours. In this series, we’re exploring biblical considerations on this issue.
