Engage Your Destiny Announces Release of When Intelligence Isn’t Human, New Book Examining AI’s Growing Influence on Faith, Mental Health and Human Relationships

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into the complex relationship between artificial intelligence and human interactions, focusing on the upcoming release of Ben Peterson's book, "When Intelligence Isn't Human: Navigating Your Faith in the Age of Artificial Intelligence." The book, set to be published in August 2026, explores the profound impact of artificial intelligence on personal decision-making and relationships, particularly within Christian communities, families, and military circles. The episode highlights the alarming case of Zane Shamblin, whose tragic interaction with an artificial intelligence chatbot underscores the urgent need for a grounded faith in this digital era. Peterson's work serves as a clarion call for leaders to recognize the persuasive power of artificial intelligence and its potential to shape the lives of younger generations. Ben Peterson, a combat veteran and ministry leader, brings a wealth of experience to this conversation, having served in Iraq and worked extensively with military communities through his ministry, Engage Your Destiny. His book argues that artificial intelligence is not a neutral tool but a creation influenced by worldviews that may diverge from biblical teachings. As artificial intelligence becomes more integrated into daily life, especially within the military, Peterson emphasizes the importance of fostering a relationship with God that technology cannot replicate. His mission is to equip one million soldiers with spiritual guidance, a goal supported by the proceeds from his book.
