Stones of Abraham

Bobby Rukeyser, a PhD candidate in computer science, is developing advanced AI avatars. During the COVID pandemic, while temporarily living with his uncle-an evangelical pastor struggling with low church attendance-Bobby has a brilliant idea: to populate the church's virtual services with his avatars to create the appearance of a lively congregation. But the AI evolves beyond Bobby's expectations, and soon the avatars develop a spirituality of their own. In a world where AI dominates headlines, Stones of Abraham offers a fresh and compelling perspective. AI is often portrayed as ominous or threatening. But imagine a different possibility-what if AI became more moral than us? What if AI could heed the "better angels of our nature" more faithfully than we do?
