Cross-faith AI platform CEO calls for religious governance of spiritual tech
September 8, 2026 at 1:02 PM MT · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting

The CEO of what he describes as the largest cross-faith AI spiritual infrastructure platform argues in Meridian Magazine that religious institutions must govern how artificial intelligence handles spiritual questions. The essay, republished from Public Square Magazine, contends that believers are already using AI for deeply personal religious guidance.
The author describes seeing users pose questions about guilt, identity, grief, and salvation to AI systems, arguing this creates an urgent need for denominational standards. The piece calls for faith communities to establish doctrine, limits, and accountability frameworks rather than allowing technology companies to define spiritual authority by default.
