Problem Statement of the Research

As you read the posts on this website, you might have got the idea that it is focused on the research which was done about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and theology. In this post, I want to present the problem statement which was addressed in this research.

    The problem focus of this research is a lack of theological framework, and especially the absence of a framework highlighting the character of the biblical God, by which to analyze, interpret, and evaluate AI and its implications for human life in a theologically informed manner. 

    In response to this problem, I explored and identified biblical themes of eight attributes of God from the Bible and the relationality between the creator and creation. A study of current literature on the recent development of AI/robotic technology and the responses and concerns raised by Christian organizations or groups in the form of official statements related to AI, theology, and God were analyzed. 

    I also collected data through a survey conducted among young Christian students and interviews conducted among pastors and Christian leaders, Christians, and non-Christians working in the technology industry. 

    Finally, a framework was developed to addresses the unique characteristics of God as the creator of all creation in comparison to humans as creators in light of technological advancements in AI/robotics.

Sermon: "AI in the End Times: Unraveling Revelation" - from ChatGPT

I was inspired by a video I saw recently to ask ChatGPT about in role in end times. My question was - Prepare me a sermon on the role of AI in end times according to the book of revelation. It starts with a disclaimer-  While the Book of Revelation in the Bible does not explicitly mention artificial intelligence (AI) or modern technological concepts, interpreting its prophecies in the context of the end times and contemporary advancements can be an interesting exercise. It's important to approach this with caution, recognizing the symbolic and metaphorical nature of the Book of Revelation. The interpretations I provide here are speculative and based on metaphorical connections rather than direct biblical statements. Then the sermon script starts. I will highlight few important points to make it clear.  Good [morning/afternoon/evening], beloved brothers and sisters in Christ. Today, we embark on a journey to explore the intricate tapestry of biblical prophecy found in t...

AI Pastor in your Pocket who can Pray for You

One concern I highlighted in my thesis was the use of AI in religious services. We’re already seeing tools designed to generate sermons. While I’m not opposed to these tools when used as a resource, they should not become crutches for last-minute sermon preparation. If someone is simply going to generate a sermon with AI and deliver it verbatim, it might be more honest to let a robot do the preaching so that people aren’t misled.   In December 2024, I encountered a new and innovative idea in this space. While I wasn’t surprised by it—the technology behind it is relatively straightforward—it raises concerns about potential misuse. Developments like these have the potential to spiral out of control, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see even more initiatives like this emerge in the future.
