Publisher's summary

You don't have to be a computer scientist to get involved in the discussion about where artificial intelligence and technology are going.

What will the year 2084 hold for you - for your friends, for your family, and for our society? Are we doomed to the grim dystopia imagined in George Orwell's 1984?

In 2084, scientist and philosopher John Lennox will introduce you to a kaleidoscope of ideas: the key developments in technological enhancement, bioengineering, and, in particular, artificial intelligence. You will discover the current capacity of AI, its advantages and disadvantages, the facts and the fiction, as well as potential future implications.

The questions posed by AI are open to all of us. And they demand answers. A work that is made to challenge all listeners, no matter your worldview, 2084 shows how the Christian worldview, properly understood, can provide evidence-based, credible answers that will bring you real hope for the future of humanity.

Excellent perspective

A must read for all who have concerns about the ethical implications of AI. Lennox provides a good overview of prior published works on AI and existing ethical discussions as well as provides counterpoints to a few top leading experts opinions on the benefit. He spares us technical jargon and sticks to the philosophical and practical concerns such as what could AI do to our freedoms. Well performed.

another stellar work from Lennox!

Lennox continues to challenge me to think more deeply about current issues in light of biblical truth.
also if, like me, you are at all hesitant about things eschatological- this is a great foray into the topic

Interesting to see a biblical perspective

Most books rely solely on science and technology when predicting the future of the human body. Refreshing to see a book that includes the biblical role and how it may play out.

A fresh perspective on AI

I appreciated the author's overview of the advances of artificial intelligence, both narrow and general. Then having given the general thought and popular opinion, the author gives his own take, shaped by his own beliefs. It was refreshing to hear.

Bringing Christian spiritualism into AI

A very fair, balanced and interesting listen from a lesser explored aspect of human AI evolution.

Theological and Intellectual

Dr. Lennox gives an amazing intellectual but understandable rebutal to the transhumanist movement and concerns with AI. The theological input is crucial in understanding man's place in creation and God the Creator.... "in Him we live and move and have being."
