Ben Peterson – författare

As artificial intelligence reshapes the world, this bold book asks the urgent question: How do we embrace technology without losing our humanityor our faith? If you care about truth, freedom, and staying grounded in what matters most, here is your wake-up call. John Rich, Multi-Platinum Country Music Artist, Award-Winning Songwriter, and Entrepreneur Artificial intelligence is no longer the future. Its now. And its reshaping how we think, live, and connect From the algorithms guiding our phones to systems influencing culture, economics, and human connection, we are entering a new era. One that is quietly redefining identity, purpose, and faith. In When Intelligence Isnt Human, speaker and veteran advocate Ben Peterson examines one of the defining challenges of our time: how to navigate an advancing technological world without losing our humanityor our faith. Blending cultural insight, personal experience, and spiritual perspective, Peterson explores how AI is shaping our attention, our relationships, and even our sense of self. He unpacks the hidden influence of social media algorithms, the global push toward more powerful AI systems, and the broader cultural shifts changing how we understand truth, identity, and meaning. This is not simply a warning about technology. Its a call to clarity. While technology continues to transform the world around us, it cannot satisfy the deeper ache for meaning, belonging, and direction. When Intelligence Isnt Human reveals that this longing points beyond what machines can offer, and it requires a different kind of response. With practical insight and a faith-centered framework, and with his extensive speaking and training on this topic, Peterson challenges us to think clearly about the future, protect what matters most, and engage with technology without losing our purpose. Because as artificial intelligence accelerates, the real challenge isnt whether the world will change. Its whether we will remain human enough to navigate it with faith.

Ben Peterson explores the erosion of communal self-governance in contemporary American society and its consequences: rising social disorder and increased dependence on formal institutions such as policing and incarceration.Drawing on thinkers such as Elinor and Vincent Ostrom, Russell Kirk, Glenn C. Loury, and James Q. Wilson, Peterson investigates the concept of the “social commons”—the shared moral and relational space we inhabit and shape through norms and actions. Arguing that restoring the social commons requires informal mechanisms of governance that cultivate virtue and mutual accountability, Peterson critiques both abolitionist and punitive paradigms, advocating instead for a middle path rooted in a character-centered approach to community life. He highlights the unique role of religious communities—especially Christian congregations—as vital sanctuaries of moral order capable of renewing the social fabric and offering hope amid chaos.Listen to the author discuss the book with Dr. Glenn Loury on the Glenn Show here: https://tinyurl.com/3534j8xh.
