Publisher's Summary

You don't have to be a computer scientist to get involved in the discussion about where artificial intelligence and technology are going.

What will the year 2084 hold for you - for your friends, for your family, and for our society? Are we doomed to the grim dystopia imagined in George Orwell's 1984?

In 2084, scientist and philosopher John Lennox will introduce you to a kaleidoscope of ideas: the key developments in technological enhancement, bioengineering, and, in particular, artificial intelligence. You will discover the current capacity of AI, its advantages and disadvantages, the facts and the fiction, as well as potential future implications.

The questions posed by AI are open to all of us. And they demand answers. A work that is made to challenge all listeners, no matter your worldview, 2084 shows how the Christian worldview, properly understood, can provide evidence-based, credible answers that will bring you real hope for the future of humanity.

More about the Bible than AI

The first half of this book is good. The second half is a Bible sermon with nothing to do with AI.

Religious preaching

Interesting start that later deteriorates to religious preaching and arguments for the existence of god that essentially contradict statements and logic conferred in the early chapters. Disappointed overall.

Can I get a refund?

Came for a book about AI and the future of humanity. Instead was driven away by religious preaching. The author keeps arguing against Atheism for some reason in a book about AI. Fields every kind of rebuttal to the big question of who created us. But seems to be unaware of the simple (proposed) answer, "We don't know". Keeps insisting the answer must be one from the scriptures. What a waste. Does Audible do refunds?

A Must Read

Fascinating and terrifying and all too real. Lennox deftly connects the dots and draws out the implications of our purposeful progress towards maximal AI.
