Technology in the area of artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to change many facets of society, including religion. Because it has the capacity to alter the way we live and think, some see AI as a danger to Christianity or other religions. Yet it is crucial to remember that artificial intelligence is just a tool, and how you use it will determine how much of an influence it has. The Bible, for example, could be automatically translated into other languages using natural language processing, or religious content may be tailored for different people using machine learning to help spread the Christian message. Yet, by offering fresh perspectives on the natural world that contradict religious ideas, it could also be utilized to challenge religious beliefs or offer an alternative to religious experience. As with any new technology, it is important to consider the potential impact of Artificial Intelligence on society and to use it responsibly. It is also important to remember that ultimately, the meaning and purpose of life are questions that are beyond the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence. This research, therefore, attempts to survey the potential impact of Artificial Intelligence on society from a Christian perspective or point of view. The conclusion is that Artificial Intelligence should be used with prudence and discernment.
