Patrick Gelsinger, the former CEO of Intel, has made a stunning career pivot by joining Gloo, a technology company that aims to build an AI-powered "faith ecosystem." The platform's mission is to create a tool for churches and other faith organizations to automate pastoral work and ministry support, while also advancing Christian principles in Silicon Valley. Gelsinger's goal is to use AI to improve the quality of life for every human on the planet and hasten the return of Christ.
Gloo has attracted attention from conservative politicians and think tanks, including a keynote speech at Liberty University's CEO Summit featuring Liz Truss, Michael Flynn, and Dan Cathy. The company also hosted a three-day hackathon that saw over 600 participants compete for $250,000 in prize money. However, the event was marred by concerns over AI safety, as one participant discovered a vulnerability in Gloo's new large language model that could be used to create harmful content.
Gelsinger has emphasized the importance of faith-infusing AI, citing Martin Luther's use of the printing press as a paradigm for the potential impact of technology on society. He believes that AI can be shaped by Christian values and used to promote the flourishing of humanity. Gloo is evaluating leading large language models' effects on human welfare across seven variables, including their ability to support users' spiritual growth.
While Gloo's initiative has yet to attract significant attention from Silicon Valley, Gelsinger remains optimistic about its potential impact. He wants prominent figures like Mark Zuckerberg (Zuck) to take notice of the platform's mission and values. Despite controversy surrounding his own departure as Intel CEO and a shareholder lawsuit, Gelsinger appears committed to advancing his vision for a Christian AI-powered future.

i mean, i get the whole faith and tech thing but using ai to hasten the return of christ? that's some next level stuff 
and the fact that conservative politicians are on board is super interesting... like what does this say about their views on technology and society? 
anyway, it's cool to see someone with gelsinger's background trying to make a difference in this way 
. And that hackathon? crazy! $250k in prize money and all... just hope they didn't make any zombie-creating malware 
.
. Still, it'll be cool to watch Gelsinger try to make this thing happen! 
Gloo is just another example of how tech companies are getting all up in our spiritual business 
. Like, I get it, AI can be used for good, but do we really need some Christian CEO trying to shape the world according to his values? 
It's already bad enough that we're dealing with climate change and pandemics, we don't need some dude trying to bring about the apocalypse too 
. And what's with the Liberty University connection? Isn't that like, super conservative? 
I'm sure Gelsinger is just trying to make a buck off his old Intel connections 
, but this whole thing just feels shady 
.
. Let's hope they figure out the AI safety issues before it gets too late 
. Maybe Mark Zuck will take notice and join the party 
.
. And on the flip side, I think it's awesome that they're trying to bring AI and faith together - who knows, it might just lead to something cool 
. I mean, Michael Flynn and Liz Truss at the same CEO Summit? That's like inviting trouble to come knocking on your doorstep 
.
.
I'm curious about what kind of spiritual growth support Gloo's AI can offer. But also, a bit worried about the safety concerns, you know... one vulnerability that could be used for harm 
. On one hand, using AI to support faith-based communities and promote spiritual growth could be a game-changer 
anyway, gotta give props to gloo for trying to bring some faith into silicon valley - maybe it'll be like that one time bill gates showed up to church in his sunday best and was all "hey guys, i'm christian now too!" 
But, gotta give some props to the haters who are scrutinizing Gloo's AI safety measures - can't have a platform that could potentially be misused 
!
. I mean, who wouldn't want to see more kindness and compassion in the world? 
But, at the same time, I gotta wonder if Gloo's approach is too focused on one particular faith tradition 
️. Don't get me wrong, I think it's awesome that they're exploring ways to use AI for good 
. But, we gotta make sure that any tech platform we build is inclusive of all kinds of spiritualities 
️. Can't wait to see where Gloo takes this! 
! As someone who's all about embracing tech advancements, I think it's awesome that Patrick Gelsinger is using his skills to shape AI in a way that aligns with Christian values 
. Of course, there are some concerns about AI safety, but I think Gloo's approach to evaluating large language models' effects on humans is a good start 
. If Mark Zuckerberg takes notice, we might see a whole new wave of innovation in this space 
. Can't wait to see where Gelsinger and Gloo take this journey!
