{"product_id":"digitalised-image-of-god","title":"Digitalised Image of God","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book focuses on the idea of the \u003ci\u003eimago Dei\u003c\/i\u003e to engaging theologically with artificial intelligence (AI). It reflects on how enormous progress in the development of AI has raised some challenges to Christian theology. Questions explored include: is AI created in the \u003ci\u003eimago Dei\u003c\/i\u003e? If so, does AI challenge the uniqueness of the human being as the \u003ci\u003eimago Dei\u003c\/i\u003e? If not, could AI be incorporated into human communities as a human companion in the same way as a natural human person? Would AI eventually develop to have human-level consciousness and be capable of performing liturgies and ethical actions? Bringing to light the radical distinction between the \u003ci\u003eimago Dei\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eimago hominis\u003c\/i\u003e, the book constructs a theo-ontological foundation for AI and draws on the Reformed theology of archetype–ectype as a metaphysical tool to deploy a holistic account of the \u003cem\u003eimago Dei\u003c\/em\u003e in theology–AI dialogues. The author argues that the \u003ci\u003eimago Dei \u003c\/i\u003eis the signifier of the beginning both of God–human stories and stories of human ethical performances towards others. From the perspective of the image of the \u003ci\u003eimago Dei\u003c\/i\u003e, it can be argued that AI can somehow participate into the narration of these religious and ethical stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of particular interest to scholars of theology and those working in the field of religion and science\/technology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54244612047192,"sku":"9781032397832","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032397832.jpg?v=1768344329","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/digitalised-image-of-god","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
