AI TRACKING CHRISTIANS. China, Iran and other tyrannical regimes are using AI tech to spy on Christians at a more intrusive level than ever. The Chinese Communist Party uses facial recognition to monitor attendees of religious gatherings. And other nations are developing similar technologies.
Arthur Herman, director of the Quantum Alliance Initiative at the Hudson Institute, warned of China’s use of AI. Because it poses a threat to the US and other democracies where freedom of religion is a constitutional right. “[The] United States needs to develop an overall AI strategy that aims at…advancing American AI supremacy… Which nation wins this struggle will ultimately depend on which one has the clearest idea of what it’s doing…The Chinese clearly do. Theirs is a vision that is more frightening…than anything dreamed up by science fiction.”
Both individual Christians and churches must learn how to resist this looming menace. Pollster and trend-tracker George Barna cautions Christians not to let AI into their doors at all. Because it can not only easily get out of control but begin to control you and the people you influence. Accordingly, Barna admonishes us to avoid “anything that even labels itself ‘artificial.’ It’s probably not good for our mental health, our physical health or our spiritual health.”
The AI Resolution
Recently, the Southern Baptist Convention went a step further when it produced an “AI Resolution.” It said Christians “must proactively engage and shape these emerging technologies rather than simply respond” to AI. “The Fall has adversely affected every aspect of creation, including the development and use of these powerful innovations.” Thus AI may produce “dangerous and dehumanizing outcomes if not utilized with godly wisdom and discernment.”
We have unlimited access to the Holy Spirit, who “searches all things” in His infinite wisdom. Now is the time to seek and find His wisdom that has “made foolish the wisdom of the world” (1 Cor. 1:20; 2:10). And then apply His wisdom to this threat to humanity made in the image of God. For no matter how smart AI gets, God knows how to outsmart it.
