NEWS REPORT:

Americans attending religious services are more concerned about the rapidly developing tech than the public as a whole, according to a study

Practicing Christians and “scripture-engaged believers” in the US are more skeptical of rapidly developing artificial intelligence (AI) than the public as a whole, according to a new survey by the American Bible Society.

In its second chapter of the annual ‘State of the Bible’ report released last week, the nonprofit organization examined respondents’ opinions about the technology and what role it plays in their faith. The study was based on 2,506 online interviews with American adults across all states.

The findings showed that levels of uncertainty about AI were high across the board, with 68% of the general public disagreeing with the idea that AI could “promote spiritual health” and 58% of people disagreeing that AI could “aid in moral reasoning.”

Regardless of scriptural engagement or biblical allegiance, the report said “everyone is uncertain how a future with AI could look.” At the same time, slightly more than half of respondents agreed that AI would bring about an increase in unemployment.

“Americans are more fearful than hopeful about Artificial Intelligence,” stated John Farquhar Plake, American Bible Society’s Chief Program Officer and State of the Bible Editor-in-Chief. He added that while the survey shows “a great deal of uncertainty” across the board, “the greatest uncertainty is at the intersection of faith and AI.”
