Description
Summary:There is remarkable convergence betwen twentieth century interpretations of the imago Dei, what it means for humans to be created in God’s image, and approaches toward creating in our own image in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Both fields have viewed the intersection between God and humanity or humanity and computers in terms of either: a property or set of properties such as intelligence; the functions we engage in, or are capable of; or the relationships we establish and maintain. These three approaches each reflect a different understanding of what stands at the core of our humanity. Functional and relational approaches have been in the ascendency in the late twentieth century, with a functional understanding as the one most commonly accepted by society at large. A relational view, however, gives new insights into human dignity in a computer age as well as new approaches to AI research.
