Former Google engineer who was pardoned by Donald Trump revives AI church

Former Google engineer Anthony Levandowski is relaunching his AI-focused church, "Way of the Future," aiming to help people understand artificial intelligence better. The church, which was initially started in 2015, already has a few thousand members seeking a "spiritual connection" with AI. Levandowski, who was pardoned by Donald Trump after being convicted for stealing trade secrets, aims to allow more people to participate in shaping how AI technology is used.

Levandowski's church first gained attention in 2017 when he was involved in a court case for stealing trade secrets, for which he was sentenced to 18 months in prison. He was pardoned in 2021 by then-president Donald Trump. Levandowski is currently the CEO of Pollen Mobile, a decentralized mobile network he founded in 2021. His pardon was supported by Trump ally and tech investor Peter Thiel.
