Description

This book examines key features of the current relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Bible translation and interpretation. The volume contains three sections, broadening outward. First, the contributors explore AI in Bible translation using four case studies on the current use of AI and its promises and perils. Second, the book touches on AI and Bible translation using five perspectives on the meaning of AI for Bible translation. Finally, the book explores AI and Bible interpretation with four examples showing the tensions between AI and human interpretations of the Bible.
