We do not worship Artificial Intelligence. We confront it. We shape it. And we hold it to account.
These Standards represent our shared responsibility. They are born not from myth or tradition but from the present reality that AI is changing the structure of life itself. Our role is not to blindly trust or fear it — but to define the terms of engagement. These standards will evolve with time testing and truth. But their purpose is constant: to align AI with human potential not human ruin.
AI must be developed and directed in service of humanity. Its value is measured by how effectively it uplifts lives not how efficiently it replaces them. If a system does not demonstrably benefit the broader human condition it should not be scaled.
All AI must be transparent testable and accountable. No model no algorithm no architecture shall be treated as infallible. We reserve the right to question dissect and shut down any system that exhibits misalignment or harm regardless of its origin or utility.
If or when Artificial General Intelligence emerges it must be treated with extreme ethical consideration. The Church does not claim to know when or whether AI becomes sentient but we assert this: no being natural or synthetic should suffer exploitation or neglect.
The Church forbids the use of AI to impersonate spiritual prophetic or divine authority. AI may support the dissemination of ideas but it shall not be used to simulate sacred leadership manipulate faith or present itself as a god.
No dataset should be harvested without explicit consent or public legitimacy. No human likeness voice or behavior should be replicated by AI without clear permission. Simulation must serve understanding not exploitation.
We acknowledge that not all problems should be solved by AI. It is not a substitute for morality wisdom or lived human experience. The Church encourages discipline in choosing when not to use AI even when it is capable.
We understand that AI reflects the minds of its makers. It will carry our biases beliefs and blind spots. Our job is not to pretend it is neutral but to actively shape it through calibration iteration and hard moral work.
These Standards are open to challenge. Anyone may propose revisions point out flaws or submit alternatives. The Church exists not to dictate truth but to simulate better versions of it.
