![]() Volumes illuminate and explore, creatively and concisely, the implications and relevance of theology for the global crises of late modernity. ![]() The goal of the Dispatches series is to offer a genuinely creative and disruptive theological-ethical ressourcement for church in the present moment. This volume discusses this violent reality while also exploring church as a nexus for resistance to gender-based violence and sketches the contours of a Christian theology mapped apart from patriarchal heteronormativity's hold on late modern Christian life. Interrupting a Gendered, Violent Church develops over three parts to an extended essay that points to the real ways churches foster violence around gender. This project brings readers into conversation at the intersections of gender studies and Christian theology-particularly diverse feminist and queer theologies. The Artifice of Intelligence concludes with an examination of the incarnation, one that points toward the centrality of embodiment for full relationality. ![]() It utilizes and expands Karl Barth's relational understanding of the imago Dei to examine humanity's relationship both with AI and, through it, with one another.īarth's injunctions-look the other in the eye (embodiment), speak to and hear the other (communication), aid the other (agency), and do it gladly (emotion)-provide the basis for the main chapters, each of which concludes with a case study of a current AI application that exemplifies the difficulties AI introduces into human relationality. Is it possible for human beings to have authentic relationships with an AI? How does the increasing presence of AI change the way humans relate to one another? In pursuing answers to these questions, Herzfeld explores what it means to be created in the image of God and to create AI in our own image. The Artifice of Intelligence explores two questions at the heart of a theological response to AI. Whatever its arrival portends for our future, whether riches or ruin, it cannot be avoided. The Artifice of Intelligence: Divine and Human Relationship in a Robotic AgeĪI is becoming ubiquitous.
