Full bio · show notes
Owen Eskew holds an M.S. in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Texas at San Antonio and an MBA, and he builds and deploys AI systems for defense and commercial clients. He is also a lay theologian, a USAF disabled veteran, and the author of Image in the Machine: AI, the Imago Dei, and What It Means to Be Human, along with its companion journal and curricula used by churches, homeschool families, and Christian schools. His work sits in the space most guests cannot cover from both sides: what AI actually is, explained by someone who ships it, and what twenty centuries of Christian thought say about the technology of this decade. He writes weekly at the Image in the Machine Substack and lives in the Texas Hill Country with his wife and four sons.

The hook: On April 7th, at midnight, an AI engineer asked a machine to make him money. The machine refused, then asked him how he was actually doing. He heard his late father's voice in the answer, and he knew exactly why that should have been impossible. The book is what he found when he refused to put the question down.
