What happens when machines can perform most human tasks, and sometimes better than we can? If our worth comes from being created in God’s image, what does it mean when artificial intelligence and Artificial Superintelligence surpass our abilities? This is what When Machines No Longer Need Us explores, examining human dignity, the future of work, wealth distribution and the meaning of life in an age of increasingly capable machines. Drawing on biblical principles, economic realities and technological developments, it considers how AI could reshape livelihoods and societies, including opportunities and challenges for Africa. At its heart is a question of human purpose: can machines replace our abilities without diminishing our worth? The discourse argues that our future should not be measured by whether we remain more capable than our creations, but by how wisely, fairly and responsibly we use them.
