"Gloo, his new home, describes itself as a technology platform connecting the faith ecosystem. The faith in this case is Christianity, something intensely important to Gelsinger, who says he sees it as his mission to the Valley. As well as various services to help pastoral tasks, he is of course heavily committed to LLM AI, training models to be infused with Jesus."
"A more practical question is whether Gelsinger can succeed in the immediate aims of mission, given LLMs' well-documented spotty relationship with truth, a commodity claimed by Christians as inviolately theirs. Gelsinger likens AI to the invention of the moveable-type printing press by Gutenberg, which powered the Reformation by letting Martin Luther and like minded reformers spread their message in a world otherwise controlled by the Roman Catholic Church. We'll come back to that analogy in a bit."
Less than a year after leaving Intel, Pat Gelsinger leads Gloo, a technology platform connecting the Christian faith ecosystem. The platform offers services for pastoral tasks and aims to train LLMs infused with Jesus to support religious work. Gelsinger frames AI similarly to Gutenberg’s moveable-type press and connects the technology to historical religious change such as the Reformation. Christianity has a long history of adopting technology, from the Greek word describing Jesus as a craftsman to the embrace of personal computers and messaging platforms. The use of mass media by preachers carries risks, given AI’s unreliable relationship with factual truth.
