The rise of artificial intelligence is a game changer for how we relate to technology. AI raises practical and ethical questions about our future-questions that are currently generating a great deal of anxiety and hope. But AI also raises deeper metaphysical questions about selfhood and humanity. What does it mean to be a person? What gives human life value? Are human beings truly unique? If so, how? Though these questions are increasingly unavoidable, most people are underprepared to answer them.
What is a Person in the age of AI? This is a topic that must be addressed head on. The implications are far-reaching and increasingly relevant. As we consider the reality of personhood, we come face-to-face with the most fundamental questions of life: who we are, and where we find meaning. Author, apologist, and respected theologian Gavin Ortlund offers a foreword that frames What is a Person in the Age of AI? as a timely and theologically grounded guide to human identity in a technological era.
