Patrick Gelsinger, who recently retired as the CEO of Intel, has taken on a new mission. Instead of resting after his long career in the tech industry, he now leads Gloo, a technology platform focused on creating AI tools for faith communities. Gelsinger believes that artificial intelligence can play a major role in spreading Christian values and even hopes it will help bring about important religious events.
Gloo describes itself as a technology platform that connects different faith organizations, especially within Christianity. The company is working to develop AI systems that align with Christian principles. However, Gloo is not focused on just one type of Christianity. Gelsinger says the technology is meant to be flexible and inclusive, so groups like Catholics, Lutherans, and many others can use it in ways that suit their beliefs. Nonreligious groups and organizations like Alcoholics Anonymous are welcome to use the platform as well.
Gelsinger has been active in combining faith and technology for years. He helped start a movement to increase Christian influence in the San Francisco Bay Area and has supported Christian educational programs. Now, by leading Gloo, he hopes to use AI as a force for good. At recent events, he compared the spread of AI to the impact of the printing press, suggesting that new technology has the power to change the world and help faith communities grow.
Gloo has already gathered over 140000 leaders from various faith and nonprofit organizations. However, this number is still small compared to the user bases of big AI companies. Gloo is testing its AI models to make sure they can guide, educate, and support people according to their spiritual needs. The company even organized a competition to find problems and vulnerabilities in their AI systems, showing a willingness to improve and adapt.
Some tech leaders, including Peter Thiel, are interested in combining faith and technology. Gelsinger himself has an ambitious goal. He wants powerful figures like Mark Zuckerberg to care about and support faith driven technology. Whether or not Gloo will become a major force in the world of AI and religion is still uncertain, but Gelsinger’s vision is attracting attention. The project aims to make AI a tool for spiritual growth, inclusivity, and positive change.
