Christian technology experts caution that churches adopting AI tools risk letting the technology assume authority that belongs to human pastors and, ultimately, to God.
A Norwegian Christian newspaper reports that Christian technology experts are warning churches about artificial intelligence gradually acquiring authority that belongs to God and to human pastoral judgement. The experts do not reject AI outright, noting it can serve as a useful tool for churches, but caution against a slow drift where algorithms take on roles of spiritual guidance or discernment. The warning matters for Christian media and organisations weighing how far to integrate AI into content, counselling or ministry tools. It points to a broader question facing the sector: where the line sits between AI as an administrative or creative aid and AI as a substitute for human and pastoral authority.
