Informative and insightful book about AI and its impact on society and how it is changing human interactions.
The ethical impact of AI is one of the interesting and thought provoking points raised by this book. How will the wars look like with the expansion of using AI.

Popular thinking about artificial intelligence (AI) alternates between the utopian and dystopian. Will our future be like the 1999 film Bicentennial Man, in which a robot becomes human over the course of 200 years? Or will it be like the 1984 movie The Terminator, in which a cyborg assassin travels back in time to kill the mother of the man who will prevent an AI-initiated nuclear holocaust?
Perhaps the future will be a little of both. As Jason Thacker demonstrates in The Age of AI, humanity is t ...more

A fine introduction to AI, theology, and ethics for those who are looking for a place to start. It’s brief and very readable! The chapter on privacy adds much needed treatment to an underdeveloped body of writing and thought on the subject from a Christian perspective.
Good overview of the evolution of A.I., how it impacts society and culture, and how we should ethically leverage it for the flourishing of mankind. This is one of the few books that I’ve come across that approaches A.I. from a Christian worldview and applies truth from scripture to the subject.
Excellent book for believers wanting to engage with the current trends in technology.
Artificial intelligence is not a topic that I've looked into much, I'm not great with technology. But this is an area that Christians must become aware of and engage with.
In this book you'll hear of some of the progresses that have been made with AI, it goes much wider than one might initially think. AI is involved in banking, medicine, warfare, work and even in our homes. So it's pretty important!

This book is thoughtful and filled with practical wisdom for the present and the future. Thacker explains AI in a way that anyone can understand, and he examines the way it could affect a variety of areas in our lives and societies. There is something in here for everyone, and this book will serve as a helpful guide for years to come.
I recently started to be interested in AI and was looking for a starting point for reading about it. Thacker's book caught my eye and is the first I've read on the topic with at least three more on my to-read list. It is as good a place as any other for anyone. I most highly recommend it for people of faith, specifically Evangelical, Bible-believing Christians looking for wisdom how to reconcile "the Age of AI" with biblical faith as artificial intelligence proceeds and continues to come more an

Jason Thacker’s book is more of a primer than a fully developed research project on a practical theology of dealing with A.I. but it serves as a wonderful introduction to the ethical dilemmas modern technology like A.I. presents to the Church. It’s a great conversation starter and for those working in the technology field, I think this is a book that you should read to begin to formulate discernment on the use and development of these powerful A.I. tools. I hope more books like these appear on t

This was a surprisingly simplistic treatment of the A.I. issue. I was definitely expecting better, since Jason Thacker brings considerable credentials to the table. But I found Bible verses shallowly or dubiously applied, cliched questions, and not particularly insightful answers to those questions. I did finish the book, but it was out of sheer self-discipline and respect for the person who recommended the book to me, not on the merit of the book itself.
I read only a couple of paragraphs, sorry - not what I had thought.
Good thought provoking book. After reading it I'm not sure which side the author is on whether for or against it. But I liked the parallelism to Biblical principals.

An interesting exploration of faith and a relationship with God in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
