About this listen
Are robots going to take my job? How are smartphones affecting my kids? Do I need to worry about privacy when I get online or ask Siri for directions? Whatever questions you have about AI, The Age of AI gives you insights on how to navigate this brand-new world as you apply God's ageless truths to your life and future.
Alexa, how is AI changing our world? We interact with artificial intelligence, or AI, nearly every moment of the day without knowing it. From our Twitter and Facebook social media feeds to our online carts to smart thermostats and Alexa and Google Home, AI is everywhere. In The Age of AI, Jason Thacker - associate research fellow at the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission - helps us navigate our digital age in this thoughtful exploration of the social, moral, and ethical challenges of our ongoing interactions with artificial intelligence.
Applying God's word to this new AI-empowered age, The Age of AI shows us how Christian truth transforms how we use AI in order to love God and our neighbor better. It serves as a guide for those wary of technology's impact on our society and also for those who are enthusiastic about where AI is taking us. Jason explains how AI affects us individually, in our relationships, and in our society at large as he addresses AI's impact on our bodies, sexuality, work, economics, and privacy. With theological depth and a wide awareness of the current trends in AI, Jason is a steady guide reminding us that while AI is changing most things, it does not change the foundations of the Christian faith.

Repetitive, mostly navel gazing
I expected something more thought-provoking and/or informative on the technical side. What I ended up getting was a long-winded blog post that repeated itself over and over. I can't say I learned anything that I didn't know before from this book, and some of the Biblical analogies he used felt a bit like a stretched interpretation. The one useful point the book did make is distinguishing between general AI and purpose-built AI. However, the rest of the book is mostly 1) talking about AI-driven products the author uses, 2) stretching Biblical analogies, and 3) pontificating on theological talking points (such as: "What IS sin, really?" or "mankind is an image bearer of God and all men have dignity".) These are good and true, but didn't need to be repeated 60 times with some AI examples peppered in here and there to remind us we're not reading a DesiringGod blog post.
