2084 and the AI Revolution, Updated and Expanded Edition: How Artificial Intelligence Informs Our Future

I really loved this book. It was easy to understand and fun to read. I really liked how it was frank about all the things we need to consider when dealing with AI that many authors just gloss over. I'd rather know the hardcore possibilities, even if they are negative, to get a full picture of what we are dealing with now and in the future. Read this book if you wish to learn more about the fascinating world of AI.

Such a POWERFUL, convicting book full of scriptural support, science, and history. Very informing, educational, and spiritually moving.Thank you Mr John Lennox for writing this incredible book!

Thorough, easy to read even with complicated subject matter, well documented, footnotes and corroborated ... he delivers masterful insights from a believer's worldview position! In the Square of Public Discourse, this should be promoted as a position that should be considered strongly.

I'm so grateful to John for this wonderful book, for all the research that he has done on the topic to present it to us in a balanced way warning us of the dangers but showing us the path to go a giving us hope as well. This book was badly needed at this pivotal time.

John C. Lennox is the C.S. Lewis of our time. His other books on science and religion (Cosmic Chemistry, Gunning for God) are among the best. In this updated edition of 2084, Lennox provides a detailed study of AI and transhumanism.Many people see AI as just another tech fad, but it is more than that. Lennox unpacks the history of AI, what it is being used for (good and bad), and what it will become. Unlike a lot of AI discussions, Lennox takes a deep look at the potential ethical quandaries of AI, especially those who would abuse it as a totalitarian weapon, and those who would push some sort of post-human vision where humans become like gods. Of course, this has never ended well in the past, and this rebranded, tech version of eugenics would not either.Lennox exposes all this to the light of Christianity and finds mankind has already been given the things the AI-transhumanists are looking for: Eternal life and a real god-human.See also Humans 2.0 by Fazale Rana, and Non-Computable You by Robert Marks, and see how C.S. Lewis wrote on many of these topics decades ago in, The Magician's Twin by John West.

This book gives and excellent overview of the history and future of AI development. It's also explores some interesting theological ramifications of AI. Highly recommended for an all-inclusive look at artificial intelligence. This author is a genius.

Easy to understand, thorough coverage, of such an important technology, and it's potential impacts on humanity.
