What gave birth to the concept of artificial intelligence (AI) was a question posed in 1950 by Alan Turing, “Can machine think?” Since John McCarthy coined the term at the Dartmouth Forum in 1956, AI began to advance rapidly and now it is anybody’s guess how far the favorite of modern science and technology will develop. In a sense, AI draws a parallel with a mythic Jewish creature called golem. To borrow the expression of a psalmist, golem is an “unformed body” (Psalm 139 : 16). It is an immature creature that is incomplete in form and has no soul and life. In the medieval Jewish folklore, golem serves people but are sometimes hostile to them. Likewise, AI - and robots for that matter - is also an unstable creature that can pose a threat to humans.
Should AI reach the singularity, a tipping point when it becomes smarter than humans, will people embrace it with enthusiasm and enjoy the technological triumph? Erik Brynjolfsson offers a new perspective on AI by questioning whether it is automation or augmentation. In other words, he calls for theological or humanistic reflections on it. In terms of sheer mechanical performance, AI is already ahead of human capacity and will excel even further. What is required of humans, therefore, is not to compete with AI’s scientific and linear logic but to offer a theological paradigm of spiritual and nonlinear progress. Human beings, as long as they are trapped in mechanical automation of AI, cannot but become subordinate to machines. Only with human literacy can people not be subservient to AI nor take a back seat. Human literacy should aim beyond mechanical regeneration or automatic reaction and seek better quality of life, pursue expanded thinking, and strive for spiritual growth.
Once Galilei Galileo and Charles Darwin did, AI has emerged as the biggest threat and challenge to Christianity. If it comes to replace humans in more aspects of life, it will further accelerate the advent of a post-Christianity era. In the attack of advanced science led by AI and robots, a serious question needs to be raised on what the Old Testament is and what the goal of science and technology should be. What does AI have to do with the Old Testament? The Old Testament provides an exponential block logic, not a scientific logic, of explaining what humans are, i.e., a living document. Such an insight, which can be easily overlooked in the age of advanced AI, requires a theological understanding of humans as inalienable beings. Instead of being swept by enthusiasm for cutting-edge technology and disregarding the shadows of new technologies, people need to endeavor theological reflections and sincere dialogue with the Bible. A biblical warning that she may give birth to golem before she goes into labor (Isaiah 66 : 7) is thus worth noting. While “Apocalypse AI” seeks to lead the future of humankind, (Old Testament) theology must take the lead like the tabernacle in the wilderness.*표시는 필수 입력사항입니다.
