As artificial intelligence assumes increasing prominence in our lives, a hostof questions arise, particularly if one holds a view of humans as inherentlysocial or mimetic, such as René Girard. Does the potential for self-awarenessin artificial intelligence come with mimetic desire in the way Girard claims itdoes for human beings?Sandor Goodhart and Thomas Ryba bring together a team of renowned scholars totheorize artificial intelligence from a Girardian perspective for the first time. Chapterspresent cutting-edge reflections on Girard’s mimetic theory in connection with science,humans, fiction, film, philosophy, and God, shedding light on artificial intelligence and theconsequences of the implementation of humanoid robots into daily life. Drawing on closeinterpretative readings of films, including A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Ex Machina, and HER,as well as literary productions, philosophic essays, and theological concepts, it offers a novelapproach to utilize the seminal ideas of Girard.Setting out new challenges and insights, this interdisciplinary volume is an essential startingpoint for students and scholars of Girard, mimetic theory, artificial intelligence, robotics,film, philosophy of religion, and ethics.
