The Ethics, Psychology, and Theology of AI
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-90350-7 (ISBN)
This book explores the profound impact of artificial intelligence psychology (AIPsy) on human psychology, identity, theology, and agency, addressing the urgent need to define the future of humanity amidst evolving technological landscapes.
The book challenges traditional notions of human uniqueness and agency, contemplating the transformative potential of a technological singularity where AI may surpass human intelligence, rendering civilization obsolete. Divided into four sections, it covers the psychological implications of AI on human cognition and behaviour, analyzes theological perspectives on AI, re-examines agency and identity in the age of AI, and fosters a multidisciplinary dialogue synthesizing insights from psychology, theology, ethics, philosophy, computer science, and sociology. Key chapters explore human-AI interaction, trust in AI, and the emerging field of artificial intelligent machine psychology (AIPsy), alongside theological dilemmas, divine intelligence, moral responsibility, and the legal rights of creative intelligent machines.
Positioned as a critical resource for scholars, researchers, theologians, ethicists, psychologists, and policymakers, the book aims to deepen our understanding of the complex relationship between humanity and AI, guiding informed decisions and ethical considerations in the transformative era of AI.
John Senior is a writer, lecturer, and visiting senior researcher at the Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychology of the Hungarian Academy. His research interest seeks to establish a new branch of psychology focusing on Artificial Psychology (AIPsych). Éva Gyarmathy is clinical and educational psychologist and professor at the Apor Vilmos Catholic College, Hungary, where she founded the Centre for Atypical Development Methodology.
