Artifical Intelligence (A.I.) is increasingly part of our lives. Self-driving vehicles are just one example that's present and quickly accelerating. A.I. is used in military simulations, athletic training, medical delivery and diagnostic programs, smart home devices like Alexa, drug manufacturing research, banking, stock investing, video games, sequencing genomes, diagnosing cardiac conditions, and gene editing, to name just some of the complex functions. China has made a huge investment in becoming a world leader. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the country that leads the world in A.I. will rule the world. What if A.I. evolves into superintelligence, surpassing general human intelligence? Are we trying to build a new deity in the computer lab? Or, maybe a devil? Will we take our place with the dinosaurs? Are we headed into a technological heaven or hell? We will explore these and other fascinating religious issues raised by the possibility of superintelligence. We may even find our way into the old Tower of Babel story in the book of Genesis. And what does Mozart's Symphony No. 1, the famous Jupiter Symphony, have to do with all of this?
