40 Bible Passages about AI: Scripture for an Age of Intelligent Machines (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781961088474)

What does Scripture teach about artificial intelligence?

Artificial intelligence is here to stay. Its impact on our world is palpable and growing, raising urgent ethical and practical questions about human life that cannot be answered by technology alone. People of faith first turn to Scripture to help answer big questions and navigate an uncertain future. But with something as radically new as artificial intelligence, where do we start?

40 Bible Passages About AI: Scripture for an Age of Intelligent Machines is a roadmap to guide you in seeking the Bible's wisdom about artificial intelligence and other emerging technology. Rather than relying on a handful of familiar texts, this book curates forty passages drawn from across the breadth of the Bible, uncovering expected an unexpected inspiration for engaging AI and other emerging technology faithfully and ethically.

The passages have been carefully selected by the editors and contributors in consultation with AI and Faith, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing the world's religious traditions into the ethical AI conversation. The passages are presented here in NRSVue Bible translation. Each passage is paired with a concise essay that explores how and why the text matters for our present moment.

Designed as a reference guide for pastors, church leaders, educators, and thoughtful readers, this book equips communities to move beyond fear or fascination toward deeper theological reflection. Use it as your starting point for approaching new technology from a standpoint of faith, rooted in Scripture.
