How will we be changed by the rise of artificial intelligence? In her recent Quarterly Essay "The God We Made", Anna Goldsworthy argues that AI is a rupture forcing us to confront what it is to be human, raising new existential, social and ethical risks while asking what remains irreplaceable in us. Anna joins Liam Carroll, an AI safety researcher at the Gradient Institute, in conversation about these questions.
