Was ist Religion? Die aktuelle Diskussion um Religion macht eine begriffliche Analyse ihrer wesentlichen Merkmale erforderlich. Seit der Antike gibt es den Versuch, das Grundcharakteristikum von Religion zu definieren, so dass Religion von anderen kulturellen Phänomenen abgegrenzt werden kann. Auch heute hat diese Diskussion nichts an ihrer Aktualität eingebüßt. Es zeigt sich aber, dass alle gängigen Religionsbegriffe definitorisch entweder zu weit oder zu eng gefasst sind, um das Phänomen adäquat zu erfassen. Gerade im Zeitalter der sogenannten Wiederkehr der Religionen sind Religionsdefinitionen aber unabdingbar, wenn Simplifizierungen und Missverständnisse vermieden werden sollen. Trennscharfe Begriffe sind spätestens dann unverzichtbar, wenn man versucht, Wissenschaft zu betreiben, die Religion als Gegenstand hat.

This book discusses major issues of the current AI debate from the perspectives of philosophy, theology, and the social sciences: Can AI have a consciousness? Is superintelligence possible and probable? How does AI change individual and social life? Can there be artificial persons? What influence does AI have on religious worldviews? In Western societies, we are surrounded by artificially intelligent systems. Most of these systems are embedded in online platforms. But embodiments of AI, be it by voice or by actual physical embodiment, give artificially intelligent systems another dimension in terms of their impact on how we perceive these systems, how they shape our communication with them and with fellow humans and how we live and work together. AI in any form gives a new twist to the big questions that humanity has concerned herself with for centuries: What is consciousness? How should we treat each other - what is right and what is wrong? How do our creations change the world we are living in? Which challenges do we have to face in the future?
