“Artificial Intelligence” conjures diverse feelings. Fear. Excitement. Doom. Potential. Confusion. Will we lose our jobs? Should we use today’s AI, and if so, how? Does the Bible have anything to say about today’s AI? What about the transhumanistic worldview of many Big AI leaders? Most importantly, how can we thrive as humans made in the image of God?
Building on insights from his award-winning book, [Un]Intentional, Doug Smith dispels the confusion around today’s AI with the biblical wisdom our families, careers, and ministries need.
[Un]Intelligence will inspire you to thrive in an AI-infested age by seeing through Big Tech’s dehumanizing lies, embracing Christian discipleship, and exercising your God-given gifts.

About the “[Un]”
In my last book, [Un]Intentional, I encouraged us to push against what I called the “intentionality imbalance.” Big Tech is more intentional with our time and attention than we are, and that book helps us flip the imbalance back in our favor through timeless biblical practices.
[Un]Intelligence builds on the [un]-removing patterns I pioneered in the last book. Big Tech is making products that appear to be intelligent, but are they? Not at all. True intelligence is much greater than any machine will ever be able to achieve. [Un]Intelligence will help us overcome the “intelligence exchange” and lead us to thrive in our God-given gifts of true intelligence, discernment, wisdom, and creativity.
A Few Endorsements
AI is not value-neutral so we are required, as modern day Bereans, to test the promises made by Big Tech. Doug Smith does just that. In this book, he exposes the lies promulgated by AI and compares them to the truth of God’s word. He makes us examine the “coulds” versus “shoulds” of AI, and he weighs the gains against the risks. Ultimately he challenges us, as followers of Christ, to seek the good, the true, and the real in order to grow in knowledge and discernment. This is a must read for us all in this “AI-infested age.”

In a time when many seem eager to embrace shiny “AI” technology, Smith offers a necessary prophetic voice. [Un]Intelligence invites readers to take stock of our convictions, confronting the lies and vices of Big Tech—convenience and comfort, among others—and exhorting us to pursue the virtues of discernment and diligence. If Smith’s arguments sound passionate, it’s because they come from a place of much needed pastoral care.

Doug’s argument is thorough but approachable, rich in expertise while relatable to the average reader. Most importantly, Doug’s perspective is firmly anchored in a biblical understanding of how we were designed as human beings—and how the design of AI threatens every aspect of our created purpose. His moral clarity is urgently needed.
