【摘要】本文探討宗教與人工智能 (AI) 的交匯，探索人工智能如何喚起宗教敘事、塑造宗教實踐並生成類似宗教的形態。“類似宗教的形態”這一概念旨在構建理解人工智能宗教和文化含義的關鍵框架。本文認為，人工智能的文化意義通常通過宗教語言和象徵意義來傳達。本文概述了當前的研究，並概述了人工智能、宗教以及類似宗教形態的實用定義。本文通過梳理其關鍵的共通點，介紹了對這一主題的貢獻：敘事和話語中對人工智能的神秘化，這可能會掩蓋倫理問題並加劇權力失衡；人工智能與宗教實踐的融合，可能會催生出類似宗教的新型形態；以及通過人工智能感知到的自主性和能動性，對數字化世界進行“重新迷戀”，從而創造了新的人類他律模式。

【關鍵詞】人工智能、AI、AI意象、類似宗教的形態、重新着迷、算法主體

[Abstract] This article investigates the intersections of religion and artificial intelligence (AI), exploring how AI evokes religious narratives, shapes religious practices, and generates formations analogous to religion. The concept of formations analogous to religion is developed as a critical framework for understanding AI’s religious and cultural implications. It is argued that AI’s cultural significance is often mediated through religious language and symbolism. The article provides an overview of current research and outlines working definitions of AI, religion, and formations analogous to religion. The contributions to this thematic issue are introduced by identifying their key points of convergence: the mystification of AI in narratives and discourses, which can obscure ethical issues and reinforce power imbalances; the integration of AI into religious practices, which can lead to novel formations analogous to religion; and the ‘re-enchantment’ of the digitally suffused world via AI’s perceived autonomy and agency, which creates new modes of human heteronomy.

[Key words] Artificial intelligence, AI, imageries of AI, formations analogous to religion, re-enchantment, algorithmic agency
