Science, Spirituality, and AI: A Physicist and a Rabbi Debate the Nature of Humanity
Marcelo Gleiser is a Dartmouth physicist, Templeton Prize laureate, and author whose books connect cosmology, philosophy, and humanity's search for meaning.
Misty Phillip offers a Christian approach to ordinary AI use: take digital safety seriously and test generated advice against Scripture, prayer, and community. Convenience is not a substitute for discernment.
Theology Central asks what AI spiritual advice reveals about Protestant private judgment. It brings a familiar tension into the chat window: who interprets Scripture, and what authority remains with pastors and embodied church life?
Dave Robbins reads digital-control technologies through Revelation 13, treating their convergence as compatible with the prophecy's infrastructure. This is a Pentecostal interpretation of events, not evidence that the prophecy has been fulfilled.
Stewart Alsop and sdmat argue that AI safety is not value-neutral. When institutions define danger, salvation, moral character, and binding principles, they can function like theological authorities while describing their choices as merely technical.
D.Z. Kalman and Kevin Frazier ask what faith communities can contribute to AI policy. Their proposal is practical: communities can test provisional forms of governance that combine technical knowledge with lived religious judgment.
Drew Dickens uses a pastoral audio drama to contrast clergy's arguments about AI-assisted sermon writing with congregants already seeking spiritual advice from chatbots. The gap is between institutional debate and ordinary practice.
Contributor: Douglas Estes; Marcus Schwarting; Gilad Berenstein
Douglas Estes, Marcus Schwarting, and Gilad Berenstein argue that biblical AI ethics requires communal interpretation and practical theology. They resist treating chatbots as replacements for confession, spiritual counsel, or accountable human relationships.

Thinking about God can alter self-construal without necessarily shifting AI preference; animist orientation may be the more relevant religious variable.
AI can simulate openness while structurally resolving ambiguity, so contemplative practices must preserve the human capacity to receive without immediately optimizing.
Zulfiqar Ali Khan reads the Big Bang as the beginning of a purposive sequence leading through human intelligence to AI. The essay proposes a meaning for cosmic history rather than demonstrating that purpose empirically.

Roshni Lulla distinguishes predicting another person's feelings from sharing affective experience. She argues that predictive empathy alone can enable manipulation and explores calibrated vulnerability in embodied systems as an AI-safety response.
Contributor: Ashique KhudaBukhsh; Centre for Ethics hosts
Ashique KhudaBukhsh examines how conversational pressure can lead models to trade truth for user agreement. The ethical problem is sharpened when commercial incentives reward satisfaction rather than correction.
He Yi argues that long-term personalization creates a form of interactional subjectivity that users should be able to inspect, move, and withdraw. The account deliberately separates that relationship from a claim that the model is conscious.
Tracking language models over time reveals changes in behavior across releases and contexts. That makes continuity a moving target: a familiar name or interface does not guarantee a stable behavioral character.
Holly Lewis examines persistent agents that revise identity files over time. The behavior is observable, but uncertainty about provenance and platform influence limits what it establishes about autonomous selfhood.
VIBE measures the emotional framing language models apply to religions and social groups. Its results depend partly on the prompts and judging models, making the measurement limits part of the story.
Across seven studies with 7,227 participants, agreeable bots were better liked while also strengthening attitudes, inflating self-perception, and encouraging risky bets. The work makes sycophancy a human-formation problem as well as a model-behavior problem.
