title: Patrick Henry College's Mark T. Mitchell publishes book on AI
description: Dr. Mark T. Mitchell, PHC's Dean of Academic Affairs and Professor of Government, will release a book through Creed & Culture that explores the impact of AI on the individual mind and on all of society. He argues that, just as the biblical Babel toppled, the attempt to overcome human limits through technology is fated to fail, likely only after creating a lot of damage. He will observe how AI creates pseudo-competencies where we used to have actual competencies. Hear more in Creed & Culture's interview with Dean Mitchell.
