Okay, a little kind of super SUPER excited. The publication of a special issue dedicated to MY research:
“In times marked by the digital revolution and the development of machine learning, there is nothing more relevant than discussing the impact of Artificial Intelligence on religion: are algorithms the gods of today? The article, “Blessed by the Algorithm: Theistic Conceptions” by British anthropologist Beth Singler, Professor in Digital Religions at the University of Zurich in Switzerland, investigates religious perceptions of Artificial Intelligence by exploring the expression “blessed by the algorithm” in digital discourses and posts. The article not only maps the ways in which individuals believe they are “blessed by the algorithm”, but also questions the grand narratives linking secularization and disenchantment with technological progress. This text, one of the first published exploring the relationship between religion and artificial intelligence, prompted comments from foreign and Brazilian colleagues. Contributors to this debate included Carly Machado (Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro), Giulia Evolvi (Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands), Jacob Boss (Indiana University in the United States), Marta Kołodziejska (University of Warsaw in Poland).”
