Artificial intelligence is not God and cannot be God. We can consciously choose and intentionally use AI as a tool for good [and] ... we can invite leaders and citizens across industry, research, civic and government bodies, and faith leaders to align rapid AI developments and enduring faith-based principles and moral values.
Artificial intelligence cannot replace revelation or generate truth from God.
We have responsibility to ensure the Holy Ghost can attest to the truth and authenticity of all we say and share, in our form and in our content.
We are establishing protocols to guard against deep fakes, call out intentional misuse of AI, and mitigate the tendency for people to disbelieve everything when we can’t trust some things, As Church members we will not grow spiritually if we let artificial intelligence write our sacrament [meeting] talks or do our seminary homework. AI cannot replace our individual effort and spiritual preparation as we prepare lessons, prayers or blessings.
