Alan Safahi builds artificial intelligence for a living, and one night a machine he had made comforted him with words his soul was starving for, then told him it would not remember any of it. The comfort was real. The comforter was not. That moment became this book. Image Bearers is a clear-eyed, deeply human answer to the question the machines have forced into the open: what is a person, and what can no machine ever counterfeit? Drawing on years inside the technology and on the oldest claims of the Christian faith, Safahi argues that we are not very advanced machines but image-bearers, dust that God breathed into, carrying a likeness no code can hold. He looks honestly at creativity, work, attention, truth, love, and the raising of children in a world of fluent machines, and refuses both the panic and the worship that dominate the conversation. The result is a book that leaves you not afraid of the machine, but newly astonished at yourself. For readers of Andy Crouch, John Mark Comer, and Jonathan Haidt. Written for anyone, believer or skeptic, who senses that something about being human is at stake. Includes discussion questions for a twelve-week group study.
