Dr. Robert A. Hunt on AI, Human Identity, and Ethics
A Deep Dive into Artificial Intelligence and What it Means to Be Human
All Brain and No Soul? Real Humanity in an AI Age explores how artificial intelligence forces us to re-examine what it means to be human. Moving from the Copernican and Darwinian revolutions to the rise of generative AI, Dr. Hunt traces the long story of how humans have defined themselves in relation to the cosmos, nature, and God—and now, in relation to machines. Rather than seeing AI as the end of human distinctiveness, Hunt argues that the real challenge is to rediscover and deepen our humanity in community, creativity, and transcendence. This book invites readers to respond to the AI age not with fear, but with curiosity and courage, cultivating a vision of human life that algorithms can never replace.
Praise for 'All Brain and No Soul?'
“In this profound exploration of what it means to be human, Dr. Hunt calls for our churches and homes to become centers of humanization—sanctuaries where we nurture the essence of our humanity in an AI age. By grounding ourselves in the human virtues of connection, empathy, creativity, and spiritual reflection, we can navigate the challenges of AI while preserving the relationships and moral compass that define what it truly means to be human.”
—Drew Dickens, Host of AI & Spirituality Podcast
The way to enrich our humanity is by being human with humans, even if that process is emotionally demanding and the demand comes from someone half our age.
