The faith-based AI market is expanding, with tools for various religions. For example, there's an AI Jesus that — for $1.99 per minute — will offer words of prayer and encouragement. As AI tools designed with religion in mind become increasingly common, many are reckoning with how these technologies shape their relationship to faith and spiritual guidance. Concerns include misinformation and data privacy as well as spiritual and ethical implications. Some worry about AI's potential to exploit religious users, while others see it as a tool for spiritual exploration.
