A provocative look at the theological implications of artificial intelligence from the founder of MIT's God and Computers ProjectGet ready to meet two remarkable characters, Cog and Kismet. They both enjoy working with others, they're very attentive, have excellent learning skills, and, according to their colleagues, they're very charming. And they're both robots.From Hollywood to the halls of NASA, robots loom large in the popular imagination. But what feelings do these lifelike machines really provoke in us? In God in the Machine, Dr. Anne Foerst draws on her expertise as both a theologian and computer scientist to address the profound questions that robots such as Cog and Kismet raise for us all: How do we define ?human? versus ?person? What does it mean to have a soul? And what do robots teach us about our relationship with God? ?A fine book; a straightforward, engaging style, crammed with fascinating insights and written so that both laymen in artificial intelligence and those in theology can understand.' ?Harvey Cox, author of When Jesus Came to Harvard
