Some artificial intelligence technologies are being used by Iran and China, creating entirely new ways to repress religion or control religion around the world, reports The Christian Post.
In particular, the chairman of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom warned that the regimes like China and Iran are using artificial intelligence tools like facial recognition technology to track and repress Christians at a level that wasn't available to them before.
Stephen Schneck, former dean and professor at The Catholic University of America, confirmed this warning with his remarks in mid-October the International Ministerial Conference on Freedom of Religion or Belief in Berlin.
In an interview with Premier News, he stated that “some of these new technologies used by countries like Iran and China, create brand new ways for the repression of religion or the control of religion around the world.”
Stephen Schneck sees the use of AI as a big problem, that is why, he says, “it's a very concerning development and something that we want to keep an eye on”.
As previously reported, the RCC chapel, where an artificial intelligence reads the Gospel, was opened in Poland.
