Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and the Image of God

“Peter Bellini is ahead of the curve with his latest book. Artificial General Intelligence is predicted to be with us soon, and most of us have given little thought to what this means for us and our society. Bellini has thought hard about these complex issues and has done so from a multi-disciplinary approach that recognizes theology as the ultimate truth. This book will be an invaluable guide for those who want to be prepared for the AI revolution.”


—Jerry L. Walls, professor of philosophy, Houston Christian University





“Masterfully bridging the gap between the realms of computer science and philosophy, this book is an indispensable guide to understanding the intricate crossroads of AI, societal implications, and theological perspectives. A brilliant and thought-provoking tour de force that enlightens and challenges in equal measure, it stands as a testament to the multifaceted exploration of our imminent AI future.”


—Ronald J. Koch, licensed professional electrical engineer





“In this wide-ranging book, Peter Bellini introduces the reader to artificial intelligence and its state of the art, providing the technical background on which to later discuss the moral implications. As a computer scientist working with cellular neural networks, I found the book very inspiring and comprehensive. It has furnished me with a framework to examine, in a methodical and constructive way, the moral and theological questions that arise in my field.”


—Gaetano Petrina, senior principal analog design engineer for integrated circuits, Renesas Electronics





“In this provocative book, Peter Bellini delves into the world of AI and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), raising imaginative and penetrating questions about their impact on humanity. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and the Image of God offers an excellent read for those interested in exploring the intersection of theology and AGI, providing a glimpse into the potential of AI for shaping a brighter future for missional churches.”
