Annual growth of AI application in religion reached 80% among American churches

Digital transformation has reached one of the most conservative spheres of human activity – religion. A study by Pushpay platform demonstrates unprecedented growth of artificial intelligence integration into religious practices. Already a full 45% of American churches are using neural networks in their activities right now. Moreover, annual growth reached 80%.

The spectrum of technology use is striking in its diversity: 18% of clergy admit they engage artificial intelligence for writing sermons. 15% – for generating ideas for interaction with parishioners. Interestingly, a significant part of respondents believe that digital technologies do not contradict faith, but on the contrary – strengthen religious beliefs.

Pastor Jay Cooper from Texas conducted his experiment: using ChatGPT, he generated a complete set of materials for worship service – from greeting to 4-verse hymn. And such a marketing campaign using posters depicting robots attracted an atypical audience for church: gamers who previously showed no interest in religious events.

Finnish experience demonstrates an even more radical approach. At St. Paul’s Church in Helsinki, a worship service took place completely created by artificial intelligence – from sermon to visualizations of biblical characters. And in India, where 97% of adult population consider themselves believers, neural networks help create audio mantras and explain the meaning of religious rituals. Well, we’re waiting for when the first neuro-god appears.

And characteristically — they can independently change their battery.

Anthropic accidentally revealed an internal document about Claude's "soul"

Anthropic accidentally revealed the "soul" of artificial intelligence to a user. And this is not a metaphor. This is a quite specific internal document.

Jensen Huang ordered Nvidia employees to use AI everywhere

Jensen Huang announced total mobilization under the banner of artificial intelligence inside Nvidia. And this is no longer a recommendation. This is a requirement.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders

A joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.

OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAI

Startup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.
