Christianity and tech appear to be converging alongside the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and the questions it’s raising for developers in Silicon Valley.
Prominent figures in the tech world like Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, and former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, have both spoken out recently about their Christian beliefs, particularly in the context of technological breakthroughs such as AI.
Thiel even gave a series of talks this autumn on the Antichrist and criticised regulators or the “legionnaires of the Antichrist” for wanting to “stop science”. Although his comments have drawn significant criticism, Thiel’s talks were sold out, signalling an appetite for this kind of religious rhetoric in the tech space.
