Summary
Artificially intelligent programs and robots are increasingly transforming more and more areas of society and putting things we take for granted to the test. In German and English contributions, this volume discusses new approaches to the use of artificial intelligence and robots as instruments in religious practice and presents the development of current projects. The authors offer international and interreligious perspectives on systematic and practical theology, from eschatology, anthropology and ethics to religious education and pastoral care. The internal theological debate is supplemented with contributions from religious studies, psychology and human-computer interaction.
