The question of being human is shaped by our contexts. The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is drastically impacting our contexts and relationships, leaving us with questions about who we are and what our roles are in the experience of daily life. This article explores some of the concepts and conversations raised by Cornel W. du Toit and furthers these thoughts considering recent developments in the science of AI. This article offers some reflection on the discourse between science and religion. INTRADISCIPLINARY AND/OR INTERDISCIPLINARY IMPLICATIONS: This research contributes towards the science and religion discourse, focussing on the question of being human in the age of AI development

Keywords : AI; being human; technology; science and religion; consciousness.
