About me
I write about the intersection of technology, faith, and what it means to be human in a changing world.
Bahta Yohannes
Bahta Yohannes studied finance and theology before building a career in finance. His writing explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, civilization, philosophy, and biblical theology, examining how technology, power, and culture shape the human condition.
At the heart of his work is the conviction that humanity is created in the image of God and that self-giving love, truth, and human dignity are the enduring foundations of every flourishing civilization. Through his writing, he invites readers to consider not only what humanity can create, but also what humanity is created to become.
He lives with his family in Vancouver, British Columbia.

A single conviction
The books Bahta Yohannes writes begin from a single conviction: that the most important questions about artificial intelligence are not technical questions. They are not even primarily economic or political questions. They are questions about what human beings are, what we were made for, and what we owe each other in the face of systems that do not know we exist and would not care if they did.
That conviction grows from a life lived at the intersection of the practical and the prophetic — working in financial systems while studying the traditions that have always asked whether those systems serve human flourishing or merely human appetite. The answer, in this moment, is not obvious. The books are an attempt to make it less obscure.
Future books will continue in the same direction: serious engagement with the present moment from the perspective of a faith that takes both the present moment and the permanent things seriously.
