Eureka Circe: Eureka Circe is the editor and curator of the book series "DEUS EX MACHINA. The series includes: "DEUS EX MACHINA - Or: On questioning life" (Part I), "Homecoming from the Pope - A quintessence of charity" (Part II), "Glauben ist wie Tanzen - Vom Glauben bewegt als Christ:in wachsen. Training book for building religious skills" (Part III), and "I will be a female bishop! - The Basics of Sermons on Happiness and other religious policy field analyses (Part IV)". 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."
