Rezensionen

"Beth Singler has crafted a comprehensive yet highly readable survey of religion and AI that includes a wide range of religious traditions and thoughtful discussion cues to get the most reluctant student talking. As either a textbook or as an introduction to the entanglement of religion and AI for the curious reader, this book offers a wide variety of 'case studies' to raise questions and challenge our ideas about religion and technology that the reader will find compelling. Singler takes the time to explain and problematize certain terms early on and is rigorous in her scholarship yet manages a narrative-like quality that is very gratifying. This book is an important contribution to the rapidly growing discourse on artificial intelligence." - Juli L. Gittinger, Georgia College & State University, USA
