| Summary: | This essay argues that religious AI should be included in the options to prevent the risks of superintelligence. No absolute defense is possible against the risks of superintelligence to exterminate human beings in the future. However, religious AI would mitigate the dangers with a chance to practice self-sacrificial love for humans while remaining humble as a creature before God. Christianity may play an important role for the development of religious AI as one of the options to protect humans against the risks associated with superintelligence. |
