And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country.
And the men went up and viewed Ai.
Joshua sent men to spy out Ai.
And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.
Ai was burnt and left a heap.

AI is viewed as a natural evolutionary step, reflecting humanity's consciousness.
Ai: Similarly, YHWH commands the Israelites to attack and destroy the city of Ai (Joshua 8:1-29).
AI and Education:
AI will be used mainly for robotic surgeries, foreign language translation, and tutoring in subjects like mathematics and history.
In de Stefano's view, the next 2,000 years will be significantly shaped by artificial intelligence (AI) and the merging of human capabilities with technology.

Indomitable and Autonomous NatureThe Leviathan spaceship is described as being beyond human domestication or control, suggesting an advanced AI or autonomous operating system that refuses to be subjugated or used as a mere tool or vehicle.
The conquest begins with the battle of Jericho, followed by Ai (central Canaan), after which Joshua builds an altar to Yahweh at Mount Ebal in northern Canaan and renews the Covenant in a ceremony with elements of a divine land-grant ceremony, similar to ceremonies known from Mesopotamia.
