AI for Mankind's Future: A Christian Perspective on the Hi-Tech Revolution (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781948014946)

Artificial intelligence is the new electricity, promising to radically transform our world. What today is considered pure sci-fi, tomorrow will be radically different because of AI, which will give us a life where super intelligent machines perform most tasks while threatening to make mankind irrelevant unless guardrails are quickly put in place. For the Christian, Bob Maginnis cautions in AI for Humanity's Future, the challenges are time sensitive. We must embrace God's purpose for man while rejecting the notion that AI is our replacement as secular futurists claim. Rather, it is Satan's tool to undermine God's plan for mankind and the instrument the coming antichrist will use in his failed quest to take over the world.

AI for Humanity's Future:

• Provides a baseline to understand artificial intelligence (AI), its history, benefits, challenges and threats.
• Demonstrates the growing and overwhelming influence AI has on the key institutions of family, education and health care.
• Identifies the many AI applications now transforming government, public services and our national security establishment.
• Unveils AI's expansive role in every aspect of our economy: extraction of raw materials, manufacturing and retail.
• Demonstrates how pervasive AI has turned our culture upside down in terms of values, ethics, liberties, norms, the arts, entertainment, our communications as well as our politics.
• Calls on Christians to understand they are made in God's image and how we ought to respond to the profoundly moral challenges AI creates.
• Argues that AI could be Satan's chief instrument to challenge God's plan for today and at the prophetic end times.
