On October 28, 2025, former Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger announced the launch of a project to create the so-called "Christian AI", which, according to him, should promote the spread of faith and spiritual values, reports The Guardian.
After leaving Intel in March 2025, Gelsinger headed the technology company Gloo, which develops digital platforms for churches and Christian organizations. The firm creates chatbots and AI assistants designed to support pastoral ministry and missionary work.
According to Gelsinger, the project's goal is related to faith: "My life mission has been [to] work on a piece of technology that would improve the quality of life of every human on the planet and hasten the coming of Christ’s return."
Speaking at the AI for Humanity seminar at a Christian university in Colorado, he compared the development of artificial intelligence to the invention of Gutenberg's printing press, which sparked the Reformation: an epochal shift as important as the Reformation. In the same way that a “plump little monk”, Martin Luther, used the printing press to catalyze “the greatest period of human invention”, he sees a similar faith-driven opportunity today to change the course of history through AI.
Gloo is actively promoting its ideas in the tech community and the US Congress. According to Gelsinger, his "Christian AI" initiative is attracting interest from politicians, and Gloo's products are already being tested in some religious organizations. At the same time, the firm positions itself as open to different denominations and even allows its solutions to be used by Muslim and secular structures.
"We’re not trying to take a theological position: we’re building a technology platform, and then giving enough customization capability that the Lutherans can be good with it, the Episcopalians can be good with it, the Catholics can be good [with it], the Assemblies of God can be good with it,” Gelsinger explained. According to him, the project's goal is not to replace spirituality but to "help people seek God through technology".
Earlier, the UOJ reported that an Orthodox AI was launched in Greece.
