This article reflects on technique and technologies, with particular attention to generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), and their impacts on life in contemporaneity. The guiding axis of the debate developed here is ethics, conceived not as a procedure for the use of available technologies, but as an alternative path to the power that underpins contemporary technique and is, at the same time, sustained by it. The theoretical position adopted here is situated within the epistemological field of studies on the interweaving of theology, law, and politics, known as political theology. The method employed is bibliographic and involves, in addition to the reading of key authors, a preliminary investigation into the state of the art of GenAI research in Brazil.
Keywords: Technique. GenAI. Political theology.
