Religious studies approaches to the intersection of artificial intelligence and religion: formations analogous to religion
——《宗教》第55卷第3期，2025年6月 ——
【摘要】本文探讨宗教与人工智能 (AI) 的交汇，探索人工智能如何唤起宗教叙事、塑造宗教实践并生成类似宗教的形态。“类似宗教的形态”这一概念旨在构建理解人工智能宗教和文化含义的关键框架。本文认为，人工智能的文化意义通常通过宗教语言和象征意义来传达。本文概述了当前的研究，并概述了人工智能、宗教以及类似宗教形态的实用定义。本文通过梳理其关键的共通点，介绍了对这一主题的贡献：叙事和话语中对人工智能的神秘化，这可能会掩盖伦理问题并加剧权力失衡；人工智能与宗教实践的融合，可能会催生出类似宗教的新型形态；以及通过人工智能感知到的自主性和能动性，对数字化世界进行“重新迷恋”，从而创造了新的人类他律模式。

[Abstract] This article investigates the intersections of religion and artificial intelligence (AI), exploring how AI evokes religious narratives, shapes religious practices, and generates formations analogous to religion. The concept of formations analogous to religion is developed as a critical framework for understanding AI’s religious and cultural implications. It is argued that AI’s cultural significance is often mediated through religious language and symbolism. The article provides an overview of current research and outlines working definitions of AI, religion, and formations analogous to religion. The contributions to this thematic issue are introduced by identifying their key points of convergence: the mystification of AI in narratives and discourses, which can obscure ethical issues and reinforce power imbalances; the integration of AI into religious practices, which can lead to novel formations analogous to religion; and the ‘re-enchantment’ of the digitally suffused world via AI’s perceived autonomy and agency, which creates new modes of human heteronomy.
