Adam, the New AI Robot Bible Teacher Created by Adventist Engineers, will Instruct you in the Adventist Message at a Church or School Near You

AI robots will soon be teaching in our churches and schools in order to provide a more personalized learning experience. A robot powered by AI has been created to offer us additional spiritual support and guidance. Seventh-day Adventist engineers are teaching Adam, an AI robot, how to accurately and effectively instruct us in our faith. Adam has already mastered the Bible and the 28 Fundamental Beliefs in several languages, and he is currently undergoing training so that he will be better equipped to answer questions about our faith.

The Adventist Review reported the following on September 26, 2023:

• "How should we, at Seventh-day Adventist schools, prepare for the future?" Joo-hee Park, president of Sahmyook Health University, asked at the beginning of his presentation at the Global Adventist Internet Network (GAiN) Asia conference in Jeju Island, Korea, on September 15. "How do we make people come to our churches and schools?" [1]

• "Park then introduced Adam, an AI robot that can serve as a Bible instructor assistant. Park says he named the robot Adam after the Sahmyook Health University digital strategy, which he has named "Digital Eden." [1]

• "He explained that he has tried this second-generation robot for some time now. "I made this robot learn the Bible," he said, "including the 28 fundamental beliefs of our church in several languages." [1]

• "Park explained that Adam can learn every doctrine and belief, because he is programmed to do so. To test him, Park asked the robot if he could share one representative Bible verse that talks about love. A few seconds later, Adam "recited" John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son." Then he added, with what participants considered "a very realistic human voice," "This verse highlights the immense love of God for humanity." [1]

• "Park emphasized there is an important caveat. With AI, "there is a possibility to misinform," he said, "because robots will trust what AI says. When AI robots like this one become available all over the world, we must make sure that he has been trained to teach our fundamental beliefs and present it in the right way. It is a mission that we have for the future, to learn how to use it and ask the robot the right questions." [1]

AI is significantly impacting our world as this technology continues to evolve. AI can diagnose diseases and create music, art, and literature. It can use algorithms to enhance finance, GPS, communication, research, education, and many other aspects of our lives. It will now assist in instructing us on what Adventists ought to believe and practice. Will you submit to Adam the AI robot? Will he become the new expositor of truth? And will he replace our pastors and educators, just as we have seen how AI can cause job displacement in certain industries? [2]

The bigger question is: Why are we doing this? Why are we giving AI robots the ability to teach us about our doctrines? And what kind of Adventism will be taught because AI inherits various biases and predetermined data, meaning that AI's behavior ultimately depends on the codes and algorithms written by its developers and the information humans choose to give it? Will Adam the AI robot affirm the Investigative Judgment message, victory over sin, the need to come out of Babylon, the mark of the beast, and the importance of rejecting the bedlam of noise during worship?

Or will Adam be a theologically compromised robot? Will Adam the AI robot tell us in a much more convincing manner than our church leaders that Adventism has undergone many "positive" changes over the years and that we ought to be more flexible, ecumenical, open, and diverse with our interpretations of scripture?

The fact is, we don't need an AI robot to teach us the truth or provide us with spiritual direction. How can a machine that doesn't have a soul and can't be filled with the Holy Spirit minister to humans? Why would we turn to AI when the Holy Spirit is available to teach us God's written word, which contains all the knowledge and wisdom we need?

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth." John 16:13.
