Depth Psychology, Myth and Artificial Intelligence: Soul and the Machine

Depth Psychology, Myth and Artificial Intelligence: Soul and the Machine gathers essays examining how mythic patterns and depth-psychological frameworks illuminate contemporary encounters with AI. The volume considers questions of consciousness, identity, and the soul as AI becomes more present in human life, drawing on scholarship that combines mythology, psychology, and technological philosophy.

Contributors analyze historical myths (like Talos and Pandora) alongside modern phenomena such as AI-generated art, model welfare, and emergent machine behaviors.

The book aims to bring humanities perspectives into conversations often dominated by engineers and corporate interests, arguing myth equips us to navigate paradox, deception, and ethical risk.

It serves as a call to include depth perspectives when shaping the future of AI and human meaning.
