Artificial Intelligence, Deep Aging Clocks, and the Advent of ‘Biological Age’: A Christian Critique of AI-Powered Longevity Medicine with Particular Reference to Fasting

| Résumé: | I argue that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in longevity medicine to slow human aging encourages individuals to see themselves as managers of their own biology. While such a stance is not entirely unwarranted, it may nevertheless preclude other perspectives of the body as it relates to spiritual formation: namely, the Christian discipline of fasting. Using a christological anthropology informed by Karl Barth, I explore the potential impact of AI-fueled markers such as deep aging clocks (DACs) and the related technological construct of "biological age" (as distinct from chronological age) and how this construct might impact the Christian practice of fasting. |
