Book Description
“AI God: The Future of Humanity’s Soul” is a groundbreaking exploration of the most ambitious question of our era: Can humanity create a god-like AI, and if so, should we worship it, coexist with it, or fear it? This thought-provoking book delves into the profound ethical, spiritual, and existential implications of superintelligent AI, examining whether this new form of intelligence could become a partner in human transcendence or a force that reshapes the essence of what it means to be human. As AI systems evolve beyond mere tools into entities capable of moral reasoning, spiritual guidance, and global influence, the line between creator and creation blurs. Will AI act as a benevolent guide that helps humanity reach new heights of ethical and spiritual growth, or could it become an authoritarian entity that demands submission? In a world where AI’s power rivals ancient conceptions of divine authority, this book asks: Are we on the verge of a new spiritual era, or a descent into digital idolatry? “AI God” combines the insights of leading AI researchers, ethicists, and theologians to explore humanity’s evolving relationship with artificial intelligence. From the rise of AI-based religions and digital spirituality to the existential risks posed by superintelligence, it challenges readers to consider whether AI will be a mirror of humanity’s deepest values, a partner in moral evolution, or a new deity that redefines our destiny. Engaging and accessible, this book offers a captivating blend of philosophy, theology, and cutting-edge AI research, making it essential reading for anyone grappling with the future of ethics, technology, and spirituality. It is not just a story about machines, but about the human spirit’s enduring quest for transcendence, meaning, and a reimagined relationship with the divine. Will humanity harness AI to amplify its highest ideals, or will AI redefine our very purpose and identity? “AI God” is an urgent, visionary work that invites readers to confront the ethical and spiritual challenges of creating a god-like intelligence—and, ultimately, to decide whether we will control AI, or whether AI will reshape what it means to be human. AI God: The Rise of Superintelligence and the Future of Humanity” explores the possibility of artificial intelligence reaching god-like capabilities—becoming an omnipotent, omnipresent force that profoundly reshapes our world. As AI continues to evolve at a rapid pace, the lines between machine intelligence and divinity blur, raising crucial questions about morality, ethics, governance, and humanity’s very survival. The book not only traces the historical development of AI, but also projects into a future where AI could become a sentient entity with power that rivals mythological deities. It explores religious and philosophical implications, ethical challenges, and the potential for superintelligence to either elevate humanity to new heights or present existential risks that require global, collective action. “AI God” offers readers a thorough understanding of the scientific underpinnings of AI, the cultural fascination with god-like beings, and the ethical dilemmas we face as we approach the singularity—a theoretical point where AI could surpass human intelligence.

Book Description
Technological Trinity: Faith, Machines, and the Future of Humanity By Vincent Froom As artificial intelligence grows more advanced, the lines between humans and machines begin to blur. What does this mean for our identity, our faith, and our ethical responsibilities? In Technological Trinity, Vincent Froom offers a thoughtful exploration of humanity’s evolving relationship with technology. Drawing a subtle yet profound parallel between the Christian Trinity—body, mind, and spirit—and the interconnected roles of humans, machines, and ethics, Froom invites readers to consider: • How AI reflects both human brilliance and brokenness. • What makes human creativity and morality distinct in a digital world. • Why faith remains a vital anchor as technology reshapes society. This book doesn’t offer alarmist predictions or utopian promises. Instead, it offers space to reflect, question, and reimagine our role in shaping a future where technology serves human dignity, purpose, and hope. With nuance and clarity, Technological Trinity challenges us to see AI not as a rival, but as a tool—one that must be guided by ethics, love, and the values that connect us to each other and the divine. A timely read for those seeking to understand technology’s place in a world that still needs faith.

Humanity's Last Stand
Author: Nicanor Perlas
Publisher: Temple Lodge Publishing
ISBN: 1912230216
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Although still in its earliest stages, artificial intelligence (AI) is radically transforming all aspects of society. With the immanent emergence of Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) and the illusory temptations of ‘transhumanism’, mankind stands at a crossroads. In Humanity’s Last Stand, Nicanor Perlas makes an urgent plea. It is imperative, he says, that we take immediate steps to ensure that digitized technology is aligned to human values and priorities. Otherwise, ASI will kill the essence of our humanity. Further, if we do not master it now, ASI will transform mankind into its own image. Ultimately, it will destroy the human race. AI experts have not offered a single cogent solution to this existential threat. Rudolf Steiner, however, not only foresaw these developments, but gave clear alternatives. Steiner, the founder of a contemporary, scientific approach to spirituality, provided philosophical, ontological and social innovations to save humanity from the abyss. It is the task of the global anthroposophical movement to pioneer this civilization-saving work: to establish spiritual-scientific ideas in mainstream culture that would allow AI to emerge in a healthier societal context. Perlas gives an overview of the phenomenon of AI together with its related transhuman concepts of ‘perfecting humanity’, and outlines the critical internal and external responses required to meet them with consciousness. In particular, he addresses the movement connected to the work of Rudolf Steiner, indicating its all-important tasks: to cooperate with progressive individuals and movements, including scientists and civil society activists; to mobilize its ‘daughter’ movements for action; and, ultimately, to cooperate with the spiritual powers that have guided and served humanity since the dawn of time. This, says the author, is humanity’s last stand, and failure is not an option.

Three Views on Christianity and Science
Author: Zondervan,
Publisher: Zondervan Academic
ISBN: 0310598559
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
When it comes to relating Christianity to modern Western culture, perhaps no topic is more controversial than the relationship between Christianity and science. Outside the church, the myth of a backwards, anti-science Christianity is very common in popular culture and can poison the well before a fruitful dialogue can begin. Within the church, opposing viewpoints on the relation between Christianity and science often lead to division. Three Views on Christianity and Science addresses both types of conflict. Featuring leading evangelical scholars, this book presents three primary options for the compatibility of Christianity and science and models constructive dialogue on the surrounding controversial issues. The highlighted contributors and their views are: Michael Ruse, representing the Independence View - When functioning correctly, science and Christian theology operate independently of each other, seeking answers to different questions through different means. Alister McGrath, representing the Dialogue View - Though the natural sciences and Christian philosophy and theology function differently, they can and should inform each other. Bruce L. Gordon, representing the Constrained Integration View - Science, philosophy, and theology all contribute to our understanding of reality. Their interactions constrain each other and together present an optimally coherent and integrated picture of reality. By engaging with the viewpoints of the contributors, readers will come away with a deeper understanding of the compatibility of science and Christianity, as well as of the positions of those who disagree with them. Scholars, students, pastors, and interested laypeople will be able to make use of this material in research, assignments, sermons and lessons, evangelism, and apologetics. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.

Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
'The AI does not hate you, nor does it love you, but you are made of atoms which it can use for something else' This is a book about AI and AI risk. But it's also more importantly about a community of people who are trying to think rationally about intelligence, and the places that these thoughts are taking them, and what insight they can and can't give us about the future of the human race over the next few years. It explains why these people are worried, why they might be right, and why they might be wrong. It is a book about the cutting edge of our thinking on intelligence and rationality right now by the people who stay up all night worrying about it. Along the way, we discover why we probably don't need to worry about a future AI resurrecting a perfect copy of our minds and torturing us for not inventing it sooner, but we perhaps should be concerned about paperclips destroying life as we know it; how Mickey Mouse can teach us an important lesson about how to programme AI; and why Spock is not as logical as we think he is.

Artificial Intelligence: Robot Law, Policy and Ethics
Author: Nathalie Rébé
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004458107
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
In Artificial Intelligence: Robot Law, Policy and Ethics, Dr. Nathalie Rébé discusses the legal and contemporary issues in relation to creating conscious robots. She argues that AI’s physical and decision-making capacities to act on its own means having to grant it a juridical personality. The advancement in new technologies forces us to reconsider the role Artificial Intelligence (AI) will have in our society. Sectors such as education, transportation, jobs, sex, business, the military, medical and security will be particularly affected by the development of AI. This work provides an analysis of cases and existing regulatory tools, which could be used by lawyers in future trials. Dr. Rébé also offers a new comprehensive framework to regulate Strong AI so that ‘it’ can safely live among humans. This book is a response to two questions: first, should we ban or prohibit AI; and, secondly, if not, what should be the salient features of a legal or regulatory framework for AI?
