A.I. ‘made-to-order truth’ is not truth, LDS apostle tells faith leaders in Vatican City; The Salt Lake Tribune, October 23, 2025

Dylan Eubank, The Salt Lake Tribune; A.I. ‘made-to-order truth’ is not truth, LDS apostle tells faith leaders in Vatican City

"Speaking this week at a faith and technology summit in Vatican City, apostle Gerrit W. Gong of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints pleaded with religious leaders around the globe to champion ethical and moral use of artificial intelligence.

At the gathering, Gong doubled down on his counsel for careful use of A.I., especially in regards to misinformation and religious inaccuracies...

The Utah-based faith’s first and only Asian American apostle also announced that an A.I. team has begun prototyping and testing various faith and ethics evaluations. This team is collaborating with “socially responsible” focused A.I. companies, along with religious institutions and universities such as Baylor, Brigham Young, Notre Dame and Yeshiva universities...

“Portraying faith traditions accurately and respectfully is not an imposition of religion on A.I. Rather, it is a public necessity,” Gong said. “It is especially needed as increasing numbers of individuals ask A.I. about faith and belief, and as A.I. becomes a primary source of information about faith traditions.”"
