From the Publisher

The question is not if AI will affect us and our churches but when. Are you ready?

In this book, we will look at several areas that are being revolutionized by artificial intelligence, and we will seek to apply God’s wisdom to them. We will discover some of the great benefits AI will provide us in the future, but we will also see some of its dangers.

We will explore how AI is changing us as individuals, as families, and as a society. We will then see AI’s disruptive impact on our economy.

Next, we will look at how AI is changing war and even our notions of privacy and security.

We will conclude by examining what the future of AI might hold, how we are responsible for that future, and how we can move forward honoring God and loving our neighbors as ourselves. Let’s explore together how to navigate the age of AI.

What Others Are Saying

Russell Moore

president, Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission

“No ethical issue keeps me up at night as does the question of artificial intelligence. The reason for my dismay is that the church doesn’t seem to be thinking very deeply about these matters at all, even as we move into a technological revolution that could prove to be Gutenberg-level in its implications. This book is a balm for anxiety in the age of technological disruption. No evangelical has thought and written more clearly on these matters than Jason Thacker. In this monumental work, he avoids both naivete and paranoia about AI. The years ahead will require wise Christians in a time of smart robots. This book shows the way.”

Jeb Bush

former governor of Florida

“Harnessing technology in our world, especially in education and medicine, can help us live productive and fulfilling lives. Yet Thacker reminds us that we must learn to do so in ways that glorify God and protect the innocent among us. Great read for parents!”

author, Sacred Endurance, If God Is for Us, and Fear and Faith

“There are some things you don’t know you need until it’s too late. What Jason Thacker has done in this work is prepare us for a future where we will need to think clearly and biblically about artificial intelligence. The Age of AI is a book for our time as the use of AI is rapidly advancing. It is deeply researched but accessible to the average reader, theologically rich, and filled with wise counsel. I’m grateful for this book.”

Pat Gelsinger

CEO VMware; founder, Transforming the Bay with Christ; author, The Juggling Act

“Technology rightly applied can be powerful for humanity and the church. AI is challenging us to consider carefully how it can be shaped for God’s kingdom and to understand its risks. Jason puts all of this into historical and scriptural context for each of us to deepen our insights into this critical topic.”

In today’s rapidly advancing technological landscape, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us. From self-driving cars to virtual assistants, AI is transforming industries and revolutionizing the way we approach problem-solving.

But what does the future hold for humanity in this age of AI? Will machines eventually surpass human intelligence, leading to a dystopian future where humans are no longer needed? Or will AI be harnessed for the greater good, helping us solve complex challenges and improve our quality of life?

As we navigate the complexities of AI and its implications for society, it is crucial to consider the ethical and moral implications of these technological advancements. How can we ensure that AI is used responsibly and in a way that benefits all of humanity, rather than just a select few?

Join us as we explore the exciting possibilities and potential pitfalls of the age of AI, and discuss how we can work together to shape a future where artificial intelligence enhances, rather than diminishes, the human experience. Let’s embrace the power of AI while remaining mindful of the impact it has on our society and our future.
