At the Intersection of A.I. and Spirituality
The voice that reverberated over the speakers at Congregation Emanu El in Houston could have easily passed as Rabbi Josh Fixler’s. In the same measured pace his congregation was accustomed to, the voice expounded on what it means to be a neighbor in an era of artificial intelligence. But this was no ordinary sermon – the words were delivered by a computer program.
“Rabbi Bot,” the A.I. chatbot created by Fixler in collaboration with a data scientist, had been trained on the rabbi’s sermons to compose a message with uncanny ease. Throughout the service, Rabbi Fixler continued to query the chatbot with questions, eliciting rapid and precise responses. This integration of technology into spirituality has raised existential questions for leaders of various denominations, provoking concerns and opportunities in a rapidly changing environment.
New Technologies and New Methods
Historically, innovative advancements have shaped faith-based practices – from the rise of radio, television, and internet broadcasting, to more modern uses like translations and seminary students’ theses. OpenAI’s ChatGPT had previously generated a service for an Austin church with Pastor Jay Cooper, tackling existential themes such as recognizing truth amid artificial intelligence manipulation. Forthcoming projects delve into theological writings, translation software, and social media strategies designed to foster growth in these technology-saturated landscapes.
Art and Faith, Divided by Eternity and the Void Between
Faith leaders debate about the acceptability of utilizing machine learning and cognitive processing. When Pastor Thomas Costello worriedly reflected, “I think of the old cliche about when the cat chases its own tail and there’s this delightful futility that becomes an interesting process. A tool is good or bad in accordance with what an individual intends.”
Some consider innovative uses to hold spiritual implications beyond their expected influence, others merely view this method as merely tools to optimize certain aspects, some of faith – to guide seekers of a single purpose with different approaches for distinct occasions – not all A.
