The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released a new hour-long video workshop on YouTube titled "Faith, Dignity, and Human Flourishing: Hearing God's voice in an Age of AI." In this workshop, Elder Geritt W. Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles discusses the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the lives of church members. He emphasizes that while AI can serve as a useful tool, it should never replace the essential human relationships that individuals have with God, others, and themselves. Gong advises members to utilize AI for tasks like logistics and drafting but warns against relying on it for emotional support or personal confiding. He encourages setting boundaries to ensure that real human connections remain a priority. Gong outlines three gospel-centered guideposts to guide members in their use of AI, highlighting that technology can inform but not transform lives without spiritual guidance. He reassures individuals that they are valued beyond mere data points in algorithms, reminding them of God's personal plan for each of them.
