The faith deficit in artificial intelligence should alarm every American

Artificial intelligence provides moral guidance to millions but systematically avoids Christian principles, creating vague spirituality instead of principled biblical reasoning.

Pat Gelsinger is the Executive Chairman and head of Technology at Gloo.

What responses do they get back? At best, therapeutic generalities. "Consider mindfulness." "Connect with your values." "Seek a higher power." At worst, guidance that lacks moral clarity, and in some reported cases, has already endangered lives.

AI has quietly become America's most influential spiritual advisor. And it doesn't believe in anything. This isn't speculation. My team at Gloo just released the Flourishing AI Christian (FAI-C) Benchmark, an evaluation measuring how well today’s leading AI models support human flourishing through a Christian lens. We assessed responses across seven core dimensions — Finances, Character, Happiness, Relationships, Meaning, Faith, Health — looking for biblical grounding, theological coherence and moral clarity.
