Apostle to the Machines? Paul’s Euangelion and the Salvation of Artificial Intelligence
This article is a thought experiment that asks, given the requisite circumstances, whether Paul the Apostle’s gospel could have any bearing on artificial intelligence. It finds that a reading of Paul’s gospel leaves the possibility open that sentient machines could be recipients of the salvation envisioned in the Apostle’s letters without the need for becoming human themselves.
