AI – Villain or Hero ?

We know AI can enhance productivity, innovation, and personalisation. Equally, security threats, job loss and the dumbing down of our student’s ( and the population generally ) creativity must be managed better,  raising questions about emotional development and data surveillance. Gen Alpha will need more than tech skills; they need AI literacy, empathy, and ethical grounding.

Certainly, AI is here to stay and has some very loud proponents. It will shape the future, but whether as a villain or a hero will depend on the choices we make. It could be argued that the positive side of the ledger has been added to as Jesus, as well as all 12 disciples, has entered the AI era thanks to videos posted on TikTok by @theaibibleofficial.

These videos visualise scenes from the Bible and have helped @theaibibleofficial amass a following of more than 800,000. But the videos aren’t just posted for their own sake – they’re promoting Pray.com, a social impact company and app for faith and prayer.

The videos depict David, Samuel, Jesus, Mary, Noah’s ark shot in the style of The Office and even a ‘trailer’ for the Bible, with videos reaching more than a million views at times. Here’s a look at a TikTok video of Daniel ( of the Lion’s Den) with 6.8 million views from @holyvlogsz depicts him updating viewers on his day. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6_8rlXEuvRU  with thanks to B and T.
