초록
Ever since the Enlightenment, technology has influenced human life as a whole through its fast technical advance. It is the technology of artificial intelligence (AI) that is one of the leading modern technologies in the twenty-first century. Scientists who have carried out AI project dream of a technological utopia in which human beings produce a future human species called AI according to their own images. In a religious view, this technological dream challenges the prime Christian faith that man was created by God according to His image. Particularly, divine commandments in the Decalogue cannot help but regard this kind of challenge as an idolatrous commitment against God’s unique authority. Considering this conflicting situation, this article explores the relation between imago Dei (God’s image) and imago hominis (man’s image) through an insightful analysis of Noreen L. Herzfeld on imagination in the technological age of AI, discovers God as the origin of all images including both images from a theological perspective of creation, discloses dangerous aspects of technological imagination to traditional theological imagination in the light of Decalogue (especially its right tablet), and attempts to provide a Christian theology of imagination in response to the technological imagination of AI.
Abstract
Ever since the Enlightenment, technology has influenced human life as a whole through its fast technical advance. It is the technology of artificial intelligence (AI) that is one of the leading modern technologies in the twenty-first century. Scientists who have carried out AI project dream of a technological utopia in which human beings produce a future human species called AI according to their own images. In a religious view, this technological dream challenges the prime Christian faith that man was created by God according to His image. Particularly, divine commandments in the Decalogue cannot help but regard this kind of challenge as an idolatrous commitment against God’s unique authority. Considering this conflicting situation, this article explores the relation between imago Dei (God’s image) and imago hominis (man’s image) through an insightful analysis of Noreen L. Herzfeld on imagination in the technological age of AI, discovers God as the origin of all images including both images from a theological perspective of creation, discloses dangerous aspects of technological imagination to traditional theological imagination in the light of Decalogue (especially its right tablet), and attempts to provide a Christian theology of imagination in response to the technological imagination of AI.
