Sinopsis

Pointless Studies explores the fascinating world of scientific inquiry, focusing on research that seems trivial but often leads to unexpected breakthroughs. This book champions curiosity-driven research, highlighting how seemingly pointless investigations can unlock fundamental insights across various scientific disciplines.

 
For example, studies on why pigeons bob their heads have revealed principles applicable to robotics and visual perception, demonstrating that even the most esoteric topics can yield practical applications.

 
The book argues that judging research solely on immediate applicability is flawed, as many landmark discoveries stemmed from initially undervalued studies. By examining case studies from animal behavior to human physiology, Pointless Studies reveals the surprising consequences of scientific exploration.

 
The book begins by outlining core principles of scientific inquiry, then progresses through examples and concludes by advocating for a re-evaluation of how we assess the value of scientific research. This approach encourages readers to embrace intellectual curiosity and support scientific endeavors that may not have immediate practical benefits.

The Artifice of Intelligence - Divine and Human Relationship in a Robotic Age - cover

The Artifice of Intelligence -...

AI is becoming ubiquitous. Whatever its arrival portends for our future, whether riches or ruin, it cannot be avoided. The Artifice of Intelligence explores two questions at the heart of a theological response to AI. Is it possible for human beings to have authentic relationships with an AI? How does the increasing presence of AI change the way humans relate to one another? In pursuing answers to these questions, Herzfeld explores what it means to be created in the image of God and to create AI in our own image. It utilizes and expands Karl Barth's relational understanding of the imago Dei to examine humanity's relationship both with AI and, through it, with one another. 
 
 
 
Barth's injunctions—look the other in the eye (embodiment), speak to and hear the other (communication), aid the other (agency), and do it gladly (emotion)—provide the basis for the main chapters, each of which concludes with a case study of a current AI application that exemplifies the difficulties AI introduces into human relationality. The Artifice of Intelligence concludes with an examination of the incarnation, one that points toward the centrality of embodiment for full relationality.
