In the spring of 2025, STBM had an electrifying conference. Ralph Messer played a 1999 classic for his audience: The Matrix*. In the movie, the storyline portrays Neo, a computer hacker who discovers that the reality he knows is a simulated world created by intelligent machines. Neo learns to manipulate the Matrix, an illusional world, and ultimately embraces his destiny as "The One"—a figure who can challenge the machines and liberate humanity.
So, what does this topic have to do with the life-principles found in the Torah?
Ralph Messer features a special guest speaker—chief technology officer and formal expert in Artificial Intelligence (AI)—to help educate his audience on the rise of technology in today's world, how it can be used for good, and how it could also potentially be used... for evil.
Here's the good news. There's one thing that AI can never replace: a human soul. When mankind fills his life with lessons learned from the Torah, he has the ability to excel beyond any technological advancements! It's incalculable, inconceivable, and can only be created within a person by God Himself. In a way, each person is living in their own "matrix." Every day, you have a choice to choose the world you want to live in. Are you ready to break free? Check out some of the topics discussed in this conference!
