Public Square Magazine examines how artificial intelligence is already shaping spiritual identity and argues that faith communities should take a more active role in governing AI's doctrine, limits, and accountability. The piece explores questions about who should control how AI systems answer religious questions and represent faith traditions.
The analysis touches on concerns about AI systems trained on secular or competing religious frameworks providing guidance to believers, and whether faith communities need formal oversight structures as AI becomes more prevalent in spiritual practice and education.
