Artificial intelligence (AI) is the latest tool to help the message of Christ spread throughout the earth.
Earlier this year, the Church published guiding principles to support the responsible use of AI by Church employees and members. Then in November, Elder David A. Bednar gave a worldwide devotional address where he offered apostolic guidance for living the gospel in a new technological context.
These are just two examples of recent counsel from leaders of the Church. You may be interested in reading the following:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) The basics of AI have existed for 2000 to 3000 years. Algibra is the basis for AI, named after its creator in India. The simplification of algebraic equations was developed along the Sick Road. The next major development came about 1850, when George Boole developed modern symbolic logic, including the if, greater than, less than, etc. Where it became really useful was with the arrival of the PC and the spreadsheet in the 1980’s. What you are really talking about is Chat GPT which allows users to converse with search apps by a two-way conversation researching and improving the reacher. The conversation uses neural networks simulating the human brain. Interestingly one of the main developers of the neural networks is Geoffory Hinton. He won the recent Nobel Prize for his work wit Google Deep Mind and is the grandson of George Boole
