If you’re like me, you increasingly rely on AI-generated “summary” answers when you ask questions online. The speed and sophistication of ChatGPT—and similar LLMs—offers mind-blowing efficiency for getting answers on fairly complex questions.

But should we trust AI’s answers—particularly on the most important questions related to spiritual questions and theology? As it synthesizes information that exists on a Bible/theology topic, does AI synthesize it in a theologically sound manner? Or are there ingrained biases in how AI delivers information about religion and God? Can you rely on AI for theology?

These are important questions. And this week, TGC’s Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics released a landmark report that evaluates the top seven LLMs for their theological reliability. Keeping the major AI companies accountable is important—as more and more people outsource their thinking to AI and trust that their answers are reliable. The stakes are high. A.W. Tozer once said, ‘What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.’ A variation for the AI age might be: How AI responds when we ask it about God is the most important thing about it.

I hope TGC’s report helps raise alarm bells in Silicon Valley, Washington D.C., and among Christians everywhere.
