Summary

New research from the Consortium for Evaluating Faith and Ethics in AI reveals that general-purpose AI models frequently fail to incorporate religious or faith-based perspectives when answering sensitive moral and life questions. Americans expect religion to appear in AI responses to topics like grief, forgiveness, marriage, guilt, and conversion 45%–59% of the time, but AI models rarely mention faith. This raises concerns about the suitability of AI for spiritual guidance as churches, apps, and chatbots increasingly adopt the technology.
