Technology and Theology: How AI is Impacting Religion

Technology and Theology: How AI is Impacting Religion explores the intersection of ancient religious wisdom and modern AI, focusing on how they shape our moral and social landscape. Written by a Conservative Rabbi and AI ethicist, it addresses theological questions—like free will, human uniqueness, and moral responsibility—through Jewish concepts such as B'tzelem Elohim (Image of God) and Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) while drawing insights from other faiths. The book examines AI's influence on worship, education, social justice, privacy, governance, and work, offering ethical frameworks for responsible use. Emphasizing that AI reflects the values of its creators, it encourages balancing innovation with justice, humility, and community. Rather than viewing AI as a threat, it invites religious communities to embrace it as an opportunity.
