Abstract

In this article, I argue that given the possibility and prospect of ArtificialGeneral Intelligence (AGI), panentheism, as a form of theism with astronger emphasis on the immanence of God, parallels the anti-anthropocentrism implied by AGI. I discuss some general issues relatedto the categorization of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Next, bothanthropomorphism and anthropocentrism will be discussed as conceptsfor how humans may relate to AI. Subsequently, I argue and concludethat there is an analogy between the anti-anthropocentric implications ofAGI and the anti-anthropocentric element of panentheism, but thatpanentheism points to a stronger form of anti-anthropocentrism.
