| Summary: | This article investigates the underlying agenda of the philosophy of artificial intelligence (AI) - a discipline of computer science - and proposes a threefold model of 'spirituality' as reconceptualisation of the self, composed of one's search, adaptation and transformation of self-knowledge, specifically concerning the rational humanity. By using the life and ideas of the father of AI and computer science, Alan Turing (1912-1954) as a case study, I will carefully examine his three stages of self-reconceptualisation and highlight the relevance of seeing spirituality as self-reconceptualisation for the current digital age. |
