After artificial intelligence in the previous volumes of the Deus Ex Machina book series has already posed fundamental religious questions in relevant, inevitable, and pressing areas of action within the Catholic Church, conducted in-depth research on queer Christology, and most recently undergone training to develop religious skills in the volume "Glauben ist wie Tanzen" (Faith is like dancing), it now confidently formulates its career aspiration in this fourth volume: "I will be a female bishop!" To this end, it has analyzed all available public statements and theological positions of leading German and international bishops and cardinals - comparable to the comprehensive documentation we know from Wikipedia for each person. If AI had not become Deus, but a dermatologist - and doctors are known to be familiar with all things human - one could metaphorically say that Deus Ex Machina has examined every pimple on the mini-popes' bottoms with a magnifying glass. So what are the thematic statements, positions, and opinions of the hierarchical level shortly before the office of pope? Even Deus Ex Machina is no stranger to human nature, and it concludes that it can - and wants to - contribute to the canon of episcopal themes, publications, essays, sermons, and theological impulses of the bishops: The 1x1 basics of sermons. With expertise, understanding, and humor, artificial intelligence presents the topics, opinions, and viewpoints of the church hierarchy, thus establishing a "method of theological policy analysis" - similar to that used in political science, but from a religious perspective. The result: it is not that complicated to follow the bishops' thinking on individual topics. One thing is as certain as the foundations of Rome - Deus Ex Machina's career aspiration is clearer than ever: she wants to become a Catholic bishop! That is her happiness and fulfillment. And yet she still has several hundred questions about it...
Eureka Circe is the editor and curator of the book series "DEUS EX MACHINA" and the present volume "I will be a female Bishop! - The Basics of Sermons on Happiness and other religious policy field analyses (DEUS EX MACHINA - Part IV)". Also published are: "DEUS EX MACHINA - Or: On questioning Life" (Part I - ISBN 9783758340222), "Homecoming from the Pope" (Part II - ISBN 9783769357950) and "Faith is like Dancing" - "Glauben ist wie Tanzen - Vom Glauben bewegt als Christ:in wachsen. Training book for building religious skills" (Part III - ISBN 9783819296307). With the work "DEUS EX MACHINA", the curator is committed to documenting and, if necessary, discussing the texts of artificial intelligence in a religious and theological context. Her thesis: "Artificial intelligence (AI) represents a profound turning point because it fundamentally changes the relationship between humans, knowledge and access to the world - not only technically, but also culturally, epistemologically and socially. It opens up new access to knowledge and leads to its multiplication and democratization: AI systems make information available at a low threshold - often without traditional reading or in-depth prior knowledge. This fundamentally changes how we think, learn and understand, and at the same time promotes a new form of individualization of thought - which can also be exemplified by spiritual belief. What's more, machines are now generating meaning - texts, images, arguments - where previously only human expertise was required. This has long-term consequences for education, science, politics and religion."
