Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed various aspects of human life, including Christianity. This raises essential questions about the implications of this technology on Christian beliefs and practices. This paper aims to explore the impact of AI on the Church, examining both the benefits and drawbacks of this emerging technology. Specifically, it investigates how AI influences spiritual experiences, religious authority, and community dynamics. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, analyzing existing research on AI's influence on Christianity. Additionally, expert interviews and surveys were employed to gather primary data on individuals' experiences with Al and its effects on their spiritual lives. The study will also examine case studies of AI-powered spiritual tools and platforms. The findings indicate that Al has both positive and negative impacts on Christianity. AI-powered tools enhance accessibility to religious resources, and provide novel ways for religious expression. It could diminish the role of human clergy and religious leaders, and the loss revealed how various religious traditions respond to AI.
