Building on earlier work engaging with the entanglement of artificial
intelligence (AI) and apocalypticism and both with whiteness (Ali 2019), in
the present essay I explore AI through the lens of a political theology
informed by critical race theory and decolonial thought. The essay begins by
setting out the meaning of a few key concepts, viz. AI, political theology,
?The World?, and the apocalyptic, before going on to consider their
relationship, and concludes by briefly sketching an oppositional stance that
I suggest is appropriate to adopt in relation to AI where the latter is
understood as a manifestation of racialised political theology.
