Genesis, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of Evil
(2021) In Forschungen zum Alten Testament 2. Reihe 126. p.319-344- Abstract
- This article explores the ways the dynamics of sin, good, and
evil may be understood in a technological future characterized by the implementation of artificial intelligence in society. By re-reading the Eden story in
Genesis 2–3 in light of current AI-discourse, Scheuer shows how sin, good, and
evil are intrinsic to the enterprise of creating an entity that bears the essence of
the Creator, while at the same time being fundamentally different from the
Creator.
