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!”

Trillia Newbell

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.”

The Age of AI: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us. From self-driving cars to virtual assistants, AI is becoming increasingly integrated into our daily lives. But what does this mean for the future of humanity?

As we enter the age of AI, there are both exciting opportunities and potential challenges that lie ahead. On one hand, AI has the potential to revolutionize industries, improve efficiency, and enhance our quality of life. It can help us make better decisions, automate mundane tasks, and unlock new possibilities in areas such as healthcare, transportation, and education.

However, the rise of AI also raises concerns about job displacement, privacy, and ethical implications. As AI continues to advance, there is a growing fear that it could outperform humans in many tasks, leading to mass unemployment and widening inequality. There are also questions about the ethical use of AI, including issues related to bias, transparency, and accountability.

Despite these challenges, the future of AI holds immense promise for humanity. By harnessing the power of AI responsibly, we can create a more inclusive and sustainable future for all. It is up to us to shape the future of AI in a way that benefits society as a whole, while also addressing the potential risks and pitfalls that come with it.

As we navigate the age of AI, it is crucial that we approach this technology with caution, curiosity, and a commitment to ethical innovation. By working together to address the opportunities and challenges of AI, we can ensure that the future of humanity is bright, equitable, and full of endless possibilities.
