Artificial Intelligence

Known as artificial intelligence, experts warn that the technology comes with great benefits, but also with great warnings. What will we sacrifice for the benefits of this new world? Will we sacrifice our jobs and human relationships for robots? Will we allow machines to read our minds and sacrifice privacy for the benefit of crime reduction? Will we merge with machines and manipulate our genes and DNA to obtain longevity?

Artificial intelligence is, as the name suggests, artificial and fundamentally different to human intelligence. Yet often the goal of AI is to fake human intelligence. This deceit has been there from the very beginning. We’ve been trying to fake it since Alan Turing answered the question ‘Can machines think?’ by proposing that machines pretend to be humans. Now we are starting to build AI that truly deceives us. Powerful AIs such as ChatGPT can convince us they are intelligent and blur the distinction between what is real and what is simulated.

AI is becoming ubiquitous. Whatever its arrival portends for our future, whether riches or ruin, it cannot be avoided. The Artifice of Intelligence explores two questions at the heart of a theological response to AI. Is it possible for human beings to have authentic relationships with an AI? How does the increasing presence of AI change the way humans relate to one another? In pursuing answers to these questions, Herzfeld explores what it means to be created in the image of God and to create AI in our own image.
