Artificial intelligence (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 AI? How does the increasing presence of AI change the way humans relate to one another? In pursuing answers to these questions, Noreen Herzfeld explores what it means to be created in the image of God and to create AI in our own image. She utilizes and expands Karl Barth's relational understanding of the imago Dei to examine humanity's relationship both with AI and, through it, with one another. The book points toward the centrality of embodiment for full relationality.
