In this thought-provoking conference talk, Chris Wiley explores the techno-utopian vision of a future shaped by transhumanism and artificial intelligence (AI), drawing from Donald Fagan’s song "IGY" to frame the discussion. He presents a dystopian short story, "The City Was Full of Idols," to illustrate a world where AI and digital deities influence human behavior and societal structures. Wiley critiques the mechanistic thinking behind totalitarianism, referencing thinkers like Mattias Desmet and Yuval Noah Harari, and warns of a transhumanist future where humans are reduced to "hackable animals" or "meat machines." He discusses the implications of AI advancements, such as Neuralink and the singularity, and questions whether humanity can resist or harness AI to serve human purposes. Drawing on historical and philosophical insights from G.K. Chesterton, Hannah Arendt, and others, Wiley urges the audience to consider how to prepare for an uncertain future while maintaining hope rooted in theological virtues.
