  1. Artificial Intelligence as a Testing Ground for Key Theological Questions.Marius Dorobantu - 2022 - Zygon 57 (4):984-999.
    Engagement with artificial intelligence (AI) can be highly beneficial for theology. This article maps the landscape of the various ways such engagement can occur. It begins by outlining the opportunities and limitations of computational theology before diving into speculative territory by imagining how robot theologians might think of divine revelation. The topic of AI and imago Dei is then reviewed, illustrating several ways AI can inform theological anthropology. The article concludes with a more speculative take on the possible implications of (...)

  • Will We Know Them When We Meet Them? Human Cyborg and Nonhuman Personhood.Léon Turner - 2023 - Zygon 58 (4):1076-1098.
    In this article, I assess (1) whether some cyborgs and AI robots can theoretically be considered persons; and (2) how we will know if/when they have attained personhood. Since our discourses of personhood are inherently pluralistic and our concepts of both humanness and personhood are inherently nebulous, both some cyborgs, and some AI robots, I conclude, could theoretically be considered persons depending on what, exactly, one means by “person.” The practical problem of how we distinguish them from nonpersonal AI entities (...)

  • The Relational Turn in Understanding Personhood: Psychological, Theological, and Computational Perspectives.Fraser Watts & Marius Dorobantu - 2023 - Zygon 58 (4):1029-1044.
    From the middle of the twentieth‐century onwards, there has been a growing emphasis on the importance of relationality in what it means to be human, which we call a “relational turn.” This is found in various domains, including philosophical psychology, psychoanalysis, and theological anthropology. Many have seen a close connection between relationality and personhood. In the second half of the article, we consider the implications of this trend for artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. So far, AI has largely neglected relational (...)
