Guiding Principles for the Mormon Church's Use of AI

  • It’ll be interesting to see how the various cults adopt this technology. They certainly have plenty of money to acquire the hardware. The Vatican has fairly advanced computing infrastructure from what I understand as well: https://cerncourier.com/a/quantum-gravity-in-the-vatican/

  • Putting aside the weird beliefs, the principles themselves are actually pretty decent and widely applicable. Strange place for principled thought leadership to come from :-/

  • > Elder Gong said reliance on the Holy Spirit can help inoculate against deepfakes.

    How does that work?

  • I half-expect some sub-branch of the abrahamic religions to issue an edict against AI, arguing that it's a false idol. (Not that I am arguing for this.)

  • A bit off-topic, but can a Mormon explain the reason why Mormons have a lot of kids?

    The simple answer would be religion, but even mainstream American Christians don't have kids at that level. I know a Mormon tech tycoon with 10 kids and another tycoon with 14 kids, lol

  • I'm glad this was posted - I appreciate reading it because I wouldn't normally be exposed to this sort of article.
