Will technology change what it means to be human? You don't have to be a computer scientist to have discerning conversations about artificial intelligence and technology. We all wonder where we're headed. Even now, technological innovations and machine learning have a daily impact on our lives, and many of us see good reasons to dread the future. Are we doomed to the surveillance society imagined in George Orwell's 1984? Mathematician and philosopher John Lennox believes that there are credible responses to the daunting questions that AI poses, and he shows that Christianity has some very serious, sensible, evidence-based things to say about the nature of our quest for superintelligence. This newly updated and expanded edition of 2084 will introduce you to a kaleidoscope of ideas: Key recent developments in technological enhancement, bioengineering, and, in particular, artificial intelligence. Consideration of the nature of AI systems with insights from neuroscience. The way AI is changing how we communicate, implications for medicine, manufacturing and the military, its use in advertising and automobiles, and education and the future of work. How data is used today for surveillance, thought control. The rise of virtual reality and the metaverse. The transhumanist agenda and longtermism. The agreements and disagreements that scientists and experts have about the future of AI. The urgent need for regulation and control in light of the development of large language transformers like CHATGPT. Key insights from Scripture about the nature of human beings, the soul, our moral sense, our future, and what separates us from machines. In straight-forward, accessible language, you will get a better understanding of the current capacity of AI, its potential benefits and dangers, the facts and the fiction, as well as possible future implications. Since the questions posed by AI, daunting as they might be, affect most of us , they demand answers. 2084 and the AI Revolution, Updated and Expanded Edition has been written to challenge and ignite the curiosity of all readers. Whatever your worldview, Lennox provides clear information and credible answers that will bring you real hope for the future of humanity.

What is AI all about, where is it going and what happens to values and ethics?
We heard the author interviewed. He was so impressive, we bought 10 books! One for each daughter, son and our brothers and sisters! It's historical and predictive. Explains what AI can and cannot do. The difference between man and machine. Where people's values and ethics come into play, even when we're trying to be unbiased. Especially good for Christians or seekers.

Brilliant Writing
John Lennox carefully explain and interpolates the complex subject of AI. The seventeen chapters discuss the salient matters of AI that are confronting us, and gives sufficient evidence on what we can do as citizens if our culture.

Great book but small print. 😉
Great book and brilliant author. However the very small print makes it challenging for an 84 year old person. Fortunately, I found a free audio version through my library. Also available is a text version that lets you adjust the text size. Lastly, the book doesn’t include any charts or graphs.

Very intuitive read and a challenge to take in.
Lennox is a highly intelligent academic who has not let his mental capacity bolster his self image to an attitude of superiority above others. His book is an in depth look at AI from a plethora of perspectives. It’s not a casual read. However, his insights, research, and comprehension of the ramifications of the topic are impressive.

There is hope
Great insight into the present reality that is on steroids, charging almost blindly into the fog of an AI-charged future. This update helps one navigate this brave new world with certain hope. . .

A very thought provoking look at the rise and influence of AI
This book has challenged my thinking about AI. I love the reminder to double down on what makes us human and I especially love that this was written not only from a scientific perspective but also a Christian perspective. As a student of the Bible I enjoyed the many connections to scripture and the use of scripture to help make sense of global events.
