{"product_id":"cura-animarum-9798385239030","title":"Cura Animarum","description":"As artificial intelligence advances, healthcare faces a profound ethical question: Can machines truly care? This book critically examines the rise of AI-driven social robots--\"carebots\"--in patient care, evaluating their benefits and potential harms through the lens of Christian ethics. While AI may enhance efficiency and offer support in specific healthcare contexts, it also risks dehumanizing care, replacing genuine human presence with technological substitutes.\u003cbr\u003e Grounded in a theology of covenant care, this work builds its ethical argument around the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, emphasizing the irreplaceable nature of human compassion. It presents theological and ethical criteria to guide the responsible use of AI in healthcare, ensuring that technology serves rather than supplants the dignity of human relationships.\u003cbr\u003e This book is essential reading for theologians, ethicists, healthcare professionals, and AI developers navigating the intersection of faith, ethics, and emerging technology. As healthcare increasingly integrates AI, \u003ci\u003eCura Animarum \u003c\/i\u003echallenges readers to consider where technology supports human dignity and where it threatens to erode the essence of genuine care.\u003cbr\u003e Is AI merely a tool, or does it risk redefining what it means to care?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wipf \u0026amp; Stock Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798385239030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Ioan C.
