Artificial intelligence has become a powerful lens through which our assumptions about reality are being exposed. As machines increasingly mimic human reasoning, language, and creativity, they force uncomfortable questions to the surface: What actually defines personhood? Is intelligence merely computational, or is there something irreducibly spiritual about the human mind? Can meaning, morality, or belief be generated by algorithms alone—or do those things require transcendence? These are the kinds of questions that sit at the heart of the AITheist series, where technological progress becomes a testing ground for theology, not just innovation.
To help us explore these tensions, we’re joined today by Michael Svigel, professor of theological studies at Dallas Theological Seminary and author of the AlTheist trilogy. Through a blend of narrative fiction and serious theological reflection, Dr. Svigel invites readers to examine how artificial intelligence challenges Christian claims about the image of God, belief and divine authority. His work doesn’t take sides in the technology debate—but does call people to think clearly, biblically, and faithfully about what it means to follow Christ in an age of intelligent machines.
