AI: For Good or For Evil?
By Jim Schneider, Executive Director, VCY America February 2026
provide the student a high grade.
Tampering with the weather and atmosphere is also on the hearts of the implementers of AI. Recently Elon Musk wrote on X, “A large solar- powered AI satellite constellation would be able to prevent global warming by making tiny adjustments in how much solar energy reached Earth.” Keep in mind that Elon already has thousands of satellites in orbit. As believers in Jesus Christ, we must be ever vigilant to the deception that is in the world. Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians warns of the serpent beguiling Eve, and he also warns of those preaching “another Jesus.” The ‘AI Jesus’ is not the Jesus of the Bible. This deception is intentional. Paul goes on to warn, “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” (II Corinthians 11:13,14). The push for these data centers will continue to rise in cities all across the country and house your every thought, your every inquiry, and your every conversation with AI. And when you combine this with the push toward a central bank digital cur- rency, it will be all about control. Keep in mind, Scriptures warn of a future one known as the beast or anti-Christ. “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” (Revelation 13:16,17). If you think this is carrying the matter too far, or that it’s just another conspiracy theory, consider what Sam Altman spoke 11 years ago in 2015. (Altman is the co-founder and CEO of OpenAI and ChatGPT.) He said, “I think AI will probably like, most likely sort of lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime, there will be great companies created with serious machine learning.” Christians must be discerning! It is only by knowing the truth that fraud can be detected. It is critical for believers in Christ to immerse themselves in the Scriptures, spend meaningful time with God in prayer and recog- nize Satan is at the root of deception. While the goal of AI is to take the place of God, may we fully realize, “That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside Me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.” (Isaiah 45:6) VCY.org
In the area of religion, this past Christmas there was promotion of an “AI Jesus.” The Christian Newswire reported that users could “see and speak verbally with ‘AI Jesus’ on video, in a conversation that feels like a calm video call.” This application also allowed the user to pray with
Many communities across the country are debating and contending the approval of data centers. These centers are directly affiliated with the infrastructure for
massive computer networks for the housing and computation of data. Such centers are critical for the support structure for artificial intelligence or just “AI” for short. Testimonies from the public in opposition to these centers have warned of the massive quantity of energy consumption each data center requires including large amounts of electricity and water. Other expressed concern relates to the land re- quired. Farm lands once used to grow our food now are the target for the establishment of many centers. As of early 2026, there are approximately 5400 data centers across the country with projections of nearly 3000 more that are either proposed or under construction.
AI has increased efficiency and productivity in many settings, and it has enabled the field of medicine to advance.
‘Jesus.’ Individuals could also text with ‘Jesus.’ Indeed, people are re- placing God with computers, screens and electronic messaging.
But while technology serves useful purposes, AI will also be used to a significant extent for evil. Even now, AI is being used to deceive individ- uals by altering images, voices and documents to place in the mind of the viewer an impression opposite of the truth. On January 20, 2026, The Christian Post reported, “Artificial intelligence-generated videos de- picting child sexual abuse surged by more than 26,000% in 2025, amid growing concern over Grok, an AI chatbot now under investigation for producing similar content.” Thousands of videos identified as “AI-gener- ated” have been created “for the most severe forms of abuse.” AI pornography is proliferating with little holding back the user from the creation and exploitation of images to fully engage in “the lust of the flesh” feasting on every imagination. Additionally, on January 20, LifeSiteNews.com reported that ChatGPT is being blamed in a lawsuit after a son killed his mother and then killed himself. A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed in San Francisco. It is alleged that “the ChatGPT chatbot fueled her son’s paranoid delusions and contributed to her murder.” It is claimed this came about after “months of online conversation” with ChatGPT.
It’s also reported that a growing number of pastors are depending on AI for the preparation of their messages. Some such as Yuval Noah Harari who spoke recently at the World Economic Forum in late January indicating that books are just words and that AI is able to remember every word and become an authority over words, thus over the religious book (referenced to the Bible). Has the ministry of the Holy Spirit who was promised to guide us into all truth been replaced by AI? The Epoch Times reported last Fall, “According to the latest data, tens of millions of people around the world are confiding, confessing and shar- ing their deepest and darkest sins and longings to various online apps and chatbots-software programs set-up to solve problems, engage users, and, if necessary, soothe troubled souls.” Many do not realize that all of this information is being stored in these massive data centers. Sadly, there are more individuals who are putting their trust in AI believing only truth will come from this device rather than putting their trust in Jesus and His Word. Another impact of AI is being felt as many thousands of workers are being replaced by AI. It’s found humans are not needed. This is hap- pening on all levels, both white-collar and blue-collar jobs.
AI cheating is also taking place where students turn over their term paper inquiries, book reports, etc to AI to spit out documents ensured to
