Description
Summary:This article suggests the idea of everything is “always-already-created” as a metaphysical framework for making sense of and constructing an African Pentecostal theology of creation in the context of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It argues that everything is always-already-created either as active and continued actualized or as active potential perpetually possibilized and anticipated to be actualized through God's mission of continuous creation. It contends that AI is a product of the divine gift of the creative impulse within the limits of the context of God's creative power in which all creation participates as agents of primordial creativity.
