ABSTRACT

The development of artificial intelligence through algorithms and big data has changed the world. The development of digital technology that people have never experienced has made it difficult to predict the future. The limits of freedom are also vague. Digital technologies can expand freedom, but they can also constrain it. From a Christian ethical standpoint, freedom must be fulfilled within the responsibility between God and humans. Ethical reflection is required for Christians living in the digital world to view freedom responsibly from a Christian perspective. However, this does not mean denying digital technology. Rather, we must ask ourselves whether a sustainable life is possible for the next generation. The testimony of the Bible and Luther's theology are to understand freedom as a responsible freedom to love one's neighbor. This article explores how the responsible freedom of charity can be applied to our times, represented by the digital world of artificial intelligence through algorithms and big data. Particularly important is Christian freedom as a responsible, free human being who cultivates the digital age as an extension of the world God created while reꠓinterpreting the Ten Commandments of the Bible to adapt them to our reality.
