Guiding Principles for the Church’s Use of Artificial Intelligence

Mar 21, 2024 - newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has issued guiding principles for the use of artificial intelligence (AI), aiming to use it to support and not replace the connection between God and His children. The principles, introduced by Elder Gerrit W. Gong and Elder John C. Pingree, emphasize spiritual connection, transparency, privacy and security, and accountability. The Church sees potential in AI for family history work, process automation, and language translation.

However, Elder Gong also warned against the malicious use of AI, such as deepfakes, and emphasized the importance of relying on the Holy Spirit, wisdom, and trusted sources to discern truth. He cautioned against oversaturating Church members with AI-generated content and reminded that the Church is primarily a source of God's truth. The Church aims to use AI tools wisely and effectively, and protect its members from deception.

Key takeaways:
