AI and the Forces of Darkness

For Paul Kingsnorth, our perspective on Artificial Intelligence (AI) is as narrow and near-sighted as a teen hunched over a smartphone’s glow. He believes we must consider AI technology from a spiritual frame, and when we do we will see that demonic forces are at play in the technology. This only makes sense, Kingsnorth believes, because: “if you take the Christian worldview seriously [and] if you… believe in the demonic realm… [that] seek[s] to take us away from God all the time [then] those [demonic] forms are going to manifest in the material world and they are going to manifest through technology… because that’s the best way… to get our attention.”
