Evangelicals urge 'AI President' Trump to launch advisory council to address 'profound ethical questions'

Shalom aleichem, 
About a dozen prominent Evangelical leaders are calling for President Donald Trump to help usher in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) while addressing concerns about its potential dangers.

A letter released Wednesday titled "Christianity in the Age of AI: An Appeal for Wise Leadership" expresses optimism about AI while acknowledging the dangers of "autonomous smarter-than-human machines that no one knows how to control."

Signatories include Rev. Johnnie Moore, president of the Congress of Christian Leaders; Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference and pastor of New Season megachurch in Sacramento, California; Assemblies of God General Superintendent Doug Clay; and American Association of Christian Counselors President Tim Clinton among others. 

The correspondence hails Trump as the "AI President" whose time in office was divinely appointed.

"Amidst everything else you are achieving, you are the AI President, having ascended again to the presidency exactly as this technology has reached its own ascendancy. As people of faith, we believe you are the world's leader now by Divine Providence to also guide AI," the letter stated.

After offering a defense of Christianity as "pro-science," the leaders state that they "often visit hospitals and universities that were the first in their respective countries, started by Christian scientists, teachers, and researchers."
