In the gospel workshop I hosted about hearing God’s voice in an age of artificial intelligence, I invited viewers to take specific actions to deepen their relationships with God, self, others, and the natural world and environment around us. In a world of accelerating technology and artificial intelligence, may we never lose the divine intelligence that matters most—the voice of God. Learn more about hearing God’s voice in an age of artificial intelligence:

Can artificial intelligence replace God? That question may sound provocative, but in an age when we turn to algorithms for answers, guidance, and even comfort, it matters deeply. I invite you to join me at on June 7 as we discuss how to hear God's voice in an age of artificial intelligence.

Will you please remember what the Lord told Samuel? “Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7).

This week I participated in the Rome Summit on Ethics and Artificial Intelligence inside Vatican City. I shared that we do not fear AI—nor do we think AI is the solution to every problem. Part of our message has also been that a faith and ethics AI evaluation will help ensure that every person of faith—and their beliefs—can be portrayed accurately, honestly, and with respect.

I recently met Bradford Smith and his family and I was so impressed by their faith in God’s plan despite Brad’s struggles with ALS. Brad has found a way to use AI to share his voice and his testimony with others. I hope his testimony inspires you the same way it inspired me.

We can understand and use artificial intelligence (AI) and other technological innovations in the context of faith. We are not afraid of AI, nor do we think it is the answer to every problem. As we work hard and smart, AI can be a valuable tool to enhance, but not replace, our own efforts. When we receive wisdom and understanding from God, we can begin to see as He sees—things we would otherwise not understand.

Each of us is blessed with unique skills through which we can learn from one another. It was a joy to visit with Elder Saxon Baltzer—a wonderful example of one who uses his talents to draw others closer to Jesus Christ. Not all of us may be national surfing champions, but we all have gifts and talents that can invite others to follow the Savior.

In the parable of the good Samaritan, Jesus invites us to come to each other and to Him in His inn—His Church. He invites us to be good neighbors. In His restored Church, we are all better when no one sits alone. Let us not simply accommodate or tolerate. Let us genuinely welcome, acknowledge, minister to, love.

The Lord’s restored Church can be an incubator for a Zion community. As we worship, serve, enjoy, and learn His love together, we anchor each other in His gospel. We may disagree politically or on social issues but find harmony as we sing together in the ward choir. We nurture connection and fight isolation as we regularly minister with our hearts in each other’s homes and neighborhoods. When we let Him, Jesus Christ helps us speak His love here.

At BYU Education Week we discussed three spiritual applications of seeking wisdom and understanding as part of our lifelong learning efforts. First, we studied instructive scriptural passages which contain the words wisdom and understand. Second, we considered scriptural wisdom and understanding to place the current conversation about artificial intelligence (AI) in gospel context. Third, we discussed striving to incline our ears and apply our hearts to understand that Jesus Christ can bless and heal each of us. No matter what else you hear today, I hope you will hear that, in His time and way, every glorious blessing in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is meant personally for you.

We celebrate the living Jesus Christ at this season of Easter. He came and comes to heal the brokenhearted, deliver the captives, recover sight to the blind, and set at liberty those who are bruised. Because He knows our pains, afflictions, sicknesses, our “temptations of every kind,” (Alma 7:11) He can, with mercy, succor us according to our infirmities. #BecauseofHim
