«Standing on the shoulders of giants»: theoretical bases for the application of artificial intelligence in religious studies

Abstract

The interaction between religion and artificial intelligence (AI) in the era of digital transformation is becoming an increasingly relevant topic. Cutting edge innovations are changing not as it were the strategies of inquiring about devout conventions, but moreover devout hone, the elucidation of sacrosanct writings, and indeed demeanors toward otherworldly existence. AI is as of now being utilized in devout considers: to analyze devout writings, anticipate patterns in convictions, and show religious talks. This article investigates the potential for presenting progressed fake insights (AI) innovations into the field of devout thinks about. It analyzes the historical and conceptual roots of AI development and considers strategies for its application in the humanities. The emphasis is on theoretical frameworks that enable the use of AI to process large volumes of religious texts, detect patterns, analyze symbolism, and interpret sacred writings. The article also raises questions of methodology and ethics in the application of AI in religious studies, such as the accuracy of interpretations, the possibilities of automating analysis, and the impact of new technologies on established approaches to religious studies. The analysis concludes that the use of AI expands the possibilities for scientific understanding of religious phenomena, but requires careful consideration of its methodological barriers and a respectful attitude toward cultural and spiritual heritage.
