The Artifice of Intelligence

Science & Faith

“There are few questions as pressing to the modern world as those of artificial intelligence. What is it? How does it affect humanity? How should it affect humanity? What ethical considerations should guide our approach to AI, and what should this mean for people of faith? Noreen Herzfeld's The Artifice of Intelligence brilliantly weaves together questions of faith, ethics, technology, and intelligence in a book that should be considered essential reading for anyone wishing to take seriously the value of humanity in an increasingly digital world. This book reminds us of what it means to be human, how to be in relationship with one another, and whether such relationships can or should extend to technology. A wonderful, incisive, and necessary book for the present and future.”
