“Christians Encouraged to Positively Influence AI Developments”
As we witness the latest advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), some may wonder where we stand on integrating these changes into our daily lives and viewpoints. The recent unveiling of OpenAI's Sora model, which has the capability to convert simple text into high-quality videos, has elicited mixed feelings among different demographics.
Christians are especially vocal, expressing concerns over the growing reliance on AI, and the possible implications of this trend on human development. Emmanuel Rutten, a philosopher at the Free University in Amsterdam, suggests that dependence on AI ultimately impedes human creativity.
While some turn to AI platforms such as ChatGPT as a solution to loneliness, the philosopher Jordan Joseph Wales warns that these platforms cannot replicate the human trait of self-giving, nor can they reflect the love God has for the world.
In the face of these challenges, we should not avoid AI; rather, the call is to remain actively involved. Initiatives like AI and Faith are championing the integration of religious ethical wisdom in AI discussions. Theologian Maaike Harmsen, the author of “Thank God for technology,” is a strong advocate for the positive influence of religion on the development of AI.
