Artificial Intelligence and Moral Theology: A Conversation

Abstract

Engaging in a conversation on artificial intelligence, a group of philosophers and theologians engages key beliefs, theories, and approaches that span from theological doctrines (i.e., Creation and the imago Dei) to anthropological reflections on embodiment, body and mind, and moral agency and, at the same time, from a critical assessment of technological advances to examining their uses and implementations in diverse social contexts. While philosophical concerns and theological resources inform the conversation, proposals are made for careful implementation of artificial intelligence in educational settings, workplaces, and society at large.
