Some of this speculation centers around Revelation 13:14–15: "…that they should make an image to the beast.… And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak…." Some speculate these verses might relate to AI because an image can be a manmade creation. The idea that this image speaks also brings to mind the idea of robots today already speaking and interacting with humans.
The word for "life" in this scripture can also be rendered "breath" in the Greek. It is the word pneuma, which is also translated "spirit." With this information you can probably see why some speculate about the Beast making some kind of image that would seem to come to life.
Since the Beast is controlled by Satan (Revelation 13:4), this would fit in with Satan's continuing work to counterfeit what God is doing. Would this "image" be the ultimate counterfeit? Some sort of animated being used by the Beast power? Similar to what God is doing by creating man and woman in His own image and likeness (Genesis 1:27)?
A nonprofit religious corporation founded by Anthony Levandowski, called "Way of the Future," has the following mission: "To develop and promote the realization of a Godhead based on artificial intelligence and through understanding and worship of the Godhead contribute to the betterment of society."
He looks kind of Jewy to me. If it looks like a jew and quacks like a jew...
Levandowski’s hope is that Way of The Future can start spreading the news and discourse on the inevitable Artificial Intelligent supercomputer that will so surpass human intellect, it will essentially be a deity. He even calls this news “the Gospel” and is developing their own bible which he calls “The Manual.” The Way of The Future will have a liturgy and even a physical place of worship. All this preparation is necessary for what the founder or “Dean” (his official title in the church) sees as preparation for the most powerful being in creation:
“If you had a child you knew was going to be gifted, how would you want to raise it?” he asks. “We’re in the process of raising a god. So let’s make sure we think through the right way to do that. It’s a tremendous opportunity.”
