ABSTRACT
This article examines the crises and challenges faced by spirituality in the age of artificial intelligence, focusing on the concept of “objective spirit” as developed in Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s early work Sanctorum Communio. In a context dominated by AI and digital technologies, spirituality increasingly tends toward individualization, commodification, decontextualization, and virtualization, often losing its theological grounding as a relationship with God and devolving into a tool for psychological self-satisfaction. Against this backdrop, Bonhoeffer’s notion of objective spirit offers a constructive theological resource for rearticulating spirituality in communal and public terms. Through critical dialogue with Hegel, Barth, Habermas, and Arendt, the study argues that spirituality in the AI era must be understood not as a private experience but as a reality formed by the Holy Spirit within communal and public life.
