Description

First called "golems" by Kabbalistic sorcerers, modern-day robots represent the legacy of mankind's ancient ambition to become "as gods." [Genesis 3:5] With the advent of artificial intelligence technologies, attempts to fashion synthetic life after humanity's own imagination and image have expanded into a broader endeavor to manufacture a ubiquitous, idolatrous deity. Artificial Intelligence: From Golem to God explores various manifestations of artificial intelligence, historic and contemporary, with an emphasis placed on matters of morality, faith and human dominion. Relevant quotations, figures and factual accounts have been meticulously referenced and sources are supplied so as to allow readers to verify facts and pursue their own line of research.
