Does the Bible Warn About AI? Evangelist Says the Church Must ‘Wake Up’

Updated Sep 24, 2026

Could artificial intelligence play a role in the “great deception” Jesus warned about in Matthew 24? Author and evangelist Ben Peterson joins Crosswalk Talk's Michael Foust to discuss his new book, When Intelligence Isn’t Human: Navigating Your Faith in the Age of AI, and why he believes Christians should pay close attention to the rapid rise of AI. Peterson explains why he believes the church needs to “wake up” to the technology’s ability to create convincing images, videos and information that can blur the line between truth and deception. He also explores what Scripture says about deception and how Christians can remain grounded in truth in an AI-driven world.
