Abstract
This book chapter explores the relationship between AI and spirituality, considering how AI's increasing presence and influence may challenge traditional spiritual beliefs and practices, and how it may shape our understanding of spirituality and the divine. The chapter also considers how AI may impact our sense of self, including its ability to collect and analyze vast amounts of personal data and the ethical implications of this. The potential spiritual benefits and drawbacks of AI's increasing presence in society are reflected upon, including its ability to help us connect with the divine in new and unexpected ways while challenging us to think more deeply about our own sense of self and our relationship with the world around us.
