What does the Bible say about artificial intelligence?

Quick answer

The Bible doesn’t mention AI directly, but it gives clear principles: humans alone are made in God’s image, technology is a tool not a god, truth and integrity matter, and we are accountable to God for how we use what we build.

AI is a powerful tool — neither good nor evil in itself. Used wisely, it can serve people; used poorly, it can deceive, displace, or dehumanize.

Image-bearing belongs to humans, not machines. We should resist treating AI as a person or trusting it as God.

Christians should ask: does this use of AI love God and neighbor? Does it tell truth? Does it preserve human dignity and stewardship?
