The Radical Movement to Worship AI as a New God
The sudden emergence and growth of AI in the past few years is giving religion and tech an opportunity to reach new followers in interesting and possibly misleading new ways.
“People really needing to understand the limitations of AI and what these things are good for and where they fail us,” Irina Raicu, director of the Internet Ethics Program at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, told The Daily Beast.
That isn’t to say that there isn’t a place for AI in religion. Raicu believes that they need to be treated as the tools they are, rather than deities we might want them to be.
