How Silicon Valley is using religious language to talk about AI

While the rapid and unregulated development of artificial intelligence continues, the language that people of Silicon Valley use to describe it become more and more religious. Geoffrey Hinton, winner of the Nobel Prize, suggests that the creation of thinking machines could question religious beliefs about human uniqueness. Mark Zuckerberg notes that some in technological technologies have as a creation of God. Some, like Ray Kurzweil, predict a transhumanist apocalypse where people merge with AI by 2045. Others, like Dylan Baker, are more skeptical. This mixture of technology and spirituality reflects the deep impact that AI has in Silicon Valley.
