Artificial Intelligence and the Apocalyptic Imagination

“If you want to think theologically and ethically about artificial intelligence, Michael Paulus has written the book for you. Although he uses the biblical theme of apocalypse throughout the book, his account of artificial intelligence is thoughtful, measured, and engaging. As a bonus, the text is well-written and reflects a command of the most pertinent literature.”


—Brent Waters, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, emeritus





“If you haven’t been paying attention to artificial intelligence, it’s time to start! A highly readable book with clear, nontechnical summaries of the latest expert thinking about artificial intelligence cast within the broad sweep of human civilization. Sobering, enlightening, at times bordering on the frightening, but never without hints of hope that perhaps, just perhaps, we humans will learn to live with and control our greatest invention, this runaway called artificial intelligence.”
