Torah in the Age of Artificial Intelligence ft. Rabbi Dr. Josh Joseph
<p>In this episode of Jewish Action: The Podcast, Rabbi Gil Student sits down with Rabbi Dr. Josh Joseph, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Orthodox Union, to explore the Spring 2026 cover story on Torah in the age of artificial intelligence. </p><p>They discuss whether the anxieties surrounding AI are overblown or warranted, how the disappearance of "grunt work" is upending the way we train the next generation of professionals and talmidim, and what the Chazal model of oral learning might actually teach us about a world where writing is no longer the primary path to knowledge. </p><p>The conversation also turns to the OU's Torah app Orbit, the risks of outsourcing human connection to a chatbot, and why the antidote to an AI-saturated world might just be going to minyan. </p><p>This episode is a reminder that the most important question to ask about any powerful tool is not what it can do, but what you are trying to accomplish with it.</p><p>Read the spring 2026 issue at <a href="https://jewishaction.com/current-issue/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://jewishaction.com/current-issue/</a></p><p><br></p>
