Abstract
Does religious ethics have anything meaningful to say about the many difficult metaphysical, ethical, and theological questions surrounding artificial intelligence (AI)? The four articles featured in this Focus Issue suggest that it does. Mariele Courtois's essay focuses on the cultivation of prudence as a necessary virtue for the moral life and raises concerns about how increasing reliance on AI may distort the nature of practical moral reasoning. Paul Scherz and Luis Vera's coauthored essay draws attention to an emerging crisis of the knowing self in the post-truth age of AI, arguing that the self is becoming alienated from the production of knowledge. Kevin Jung's essay explores how language can serve as a window into both the artificial and human mind, drawing insights from Augustine and Wittgenstein. John Pittard's essay examines the moral standing of AGIs and weighs the reasons for and against their development from a Christian perspective.
