The AI Apocalypse

About this book

Are you ready for the AI apocalypse? AI is remaking the world before our eyes. From work to companionship to art, AI's expanding influence is transforming and revealing how we understand human life. And it's only just begun. As AI development skyrockets, we advance further into the unknown. Will our way of life, jobs -- even our very souls -- survive the AI age? The AI Apocalypse brings together an international and interdisciplinary group of contributors from across the fields of technology, theology, and ethics. They'll help you navigate our new AI world with wisdom and clarity. And they'll show you how the living message of Christ provides a more stable foundation than AI's promises. The approach you'll find here isn't Christianity against the machine. Instead, contributors will consider the image AI is forming humans into and how the gospel remakes believers into the image of Christ. Explains and evaluates AI in light of a Christian worldview. The book unpacks how LLMs work, then evaluates their uses theologically and ethically. Explores the range of human life -- self, community, work, art, death, and more -- unearthing the artificial ideas that threaten Christian families, churches, and our way of life. And then declaring how the truth, goodness, and beauty of the gospel shows us a better way. Encourages carefulness and confidence. Provides a theological and ethical framework that will help both "tech positive" and fearful readers evaluate their use of technology thoughtfully. Includes a helpful glossary of key terms for families, church leaders, and laypeople to quickly reference. -- Publisher.
