As a business professor at @SamfordU University, I spend my days with the generation that will never know a world without AI. Some numbers from the past year have stayed with me:
* Four in ten young adults say spiritual advice from AI is as trustworthy as advice from a pastor.
* A third of teenagers have talked to an AI companion, rather than a person, about something serious and personal.
*Thirty-nine percent of Gen Z say they'd delay or skip a doctor's visit if AI told them their symptoms were low-risk.
What concerns me isn't that young people like AI. It's that a generation is learning to outsource the kinds of decisions that require wisdom, not just information, to a system that processes the world brilliantly but only ever from within it.
I wrote about this for The Gospel Coalition @TGC and to my own surprise, the framework I kept returning to was Ecclesiastes, a text roughly 3,000 years old. The Teacher ran his own experiment: pursuing knowledge and analysis to their limits, and found that even extraordinary wisdom, on its own, comes up short. I think that has something to say to our cultural moment.
Whatever your own convictions, I'd be glad to have you read it

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the commencement ceremony for Westminster Academy in Fort Lauderdale. President @BeckTaylor delivered a wonderful commencement address & I was both encouraged & inspired by the accomplishments of the 80 graduates. The future is bright.

Between semesters, campus may be a little quieter, but it’s just as beautiful as ever. Still, we can’t help but miss the people who bring it to life.

Birmingham is leading the way. 👏 A new analysis from The Wall Street Journal and ADP ranks Birmingham as the No. 1 metro area where new graduates are landing career-track jobs.
For Samford students, that means access to real opportunity, here in Birmingham.
