Rabbi Brous speaks of the Pope’s recent encyclical that incorporates a Dvar Torah on the Tower of Babel. The problem with the people who built the Tower of Babel is that they became uniform. The threat of AI is in fact related. The construction of the Tower of Babel is compared to the construction of the Second Temple and the walls of Jerusalem, led by Nehemiah when he returned from the Babylonian exile. The difference is that the people joined together in collaboration to create something special and productive, that did not compete with God.
