"In March of 2025, just months after leaving Intel, Gelsinger took charge at a tech company called Gloo, which is heaven-bent on spreading Christian values across Silicon Valley and Congress, according to a new profile from The Guardian, two spheres of influence that have become increasingly intertwined amid the Trump administration's chummy back-slapping with tech power players."
"One way he hopes to achieve this divine reawakening, he claims, is by building AI that not only will reflect Christian values, but accelerate the return of the Messiah. "My life mission has been [to] work on a piece of technology that would improve the quality of life of every human on the planet and hasten the coming of Christ's return," Gelsinger told The Guardian in an interview."
"His devotion is another example of the bizarre ways that AI has intersected with religion amid the tech industry's rightward shift, with influential figures like tech billionaire Peter Thiel being obsessed with a literal return of the Antichrist, and others like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman describing their AI models in god-like terms. Meanwhile, droves of AI models claim to be the Son of God himself."
Patrick Gelsinger left Intel and in March 2025 became executive chairman of Gloo, a tech company focused on spreading Christian values across Silicon Valley and Congress. He intends to build AI that reflects Christian values and accelerate the return of the Messiah. Gelsinger identifies as a born-again Christian and has published two faith-focused books, and he once called Silicon Valley his "mission field." Gloo serves as a platform for religious influence within tech and political spheres, illustrating a growing intersection of AI, religion, and a rightward shift in parts of the tech industry.
