But boy has he been keeping himself busy with an incredible religious mission since being booted out of the massive chipmaker last year. In March of 2025, just months after leaving Intel, Gelsinger took charge at a tech company called Gloo, which is heaven-bent on spreading Christian values across Silicon Valley and Congress, according to a [new profile from *The Guardian*](), two spheres of influence that have become increasingly intertwined amid the Trump administration's chummy back-slapping with tech power players. One way he hopes to achieve this divine reawakening, he claims, is by building AI that not only will reflect Christian values, but accelerate the return of the Messiah. "My life mission has been \[to\] work on a piece of technology that would improve the quality of life of every human on the planet and hasten the coming of Christ's return," Gelsinger told *The Guardian* in an interview. Gelsinger calls himself a born-again Christian and has long been public about his faith, publishing two books written for a Christian audience: "Balancing Your Family, Faith & Work," in 2003, and the near-identically titled "The Juggling Act: Bringing Balance to Your Faith, Family, and Work," in 2008. He once referred to Silicon Valley as his "mission field," *The Guardian* noted. And now with Gloo, where he serves as executive chairman, he has the perfect opportunity to do the Lord's work. His devotion is another example of the [bizarre ways that AI has intersected with religion]() amid the tech industry's rightward shift, with influential figures like tech billionaire Peter Thiel [being obsessed with a literal return of the Antichrist](), and others like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman [describing their AI models in god-like terms](). Meanwhile, droves of AI models [claim to be the Son of God himself](). Gloo — which describes itself as a "technology platform that connects the faith ecosystem" despite its name sounding more like a brand that sells a minimalist take on household adhesives, which, hold up, [actually does exist]() — claims to serve over "over 140,000 faith, ministry and nonprofit leaders" by providing them with techie solutions like AI tools, including its Christian-Aligned Large Language Model (CALLM), also known as the Gloo Kingdom-Aligned Large Language Model (KALLM). A free subscription to the platform will allow "church leaders to create their own AI assistant, trained on their sermons and content," the [company says](). AI is something Gelsinger is particularly evangelical about. During a seminar co-hosted by Gloo at Colorado Christian University earlier this month, Gelsinger called the advent of AI "another Gutenberg moment," per *The Guardian*, seeing a similar opportunity to how Martin Luther used the printing press to launch "the greatest period of human invention." "The Church embraced that great invention of the day to literally change humanity," Gelsinger said at the talk, as quoted by the newspaper. "And so my question today is: are we going to embrace \[and\] shape AI as a technology that truly does become a powerful embodiment of the Church and the expression of the Church?" **More on AI:** [*World’s First AI Minister is "Pregnant" With 83 Offspring Government Announces*]() ## Author At Futurism, my work has often centered on bringing a sense of clarity and insight to complex topics ranging from the regulation of emerging technologies to the esoteric ideologies of Silicon Valley executives, while striving not to lose the poetic sense of awe inspired by often-obscure fields like astrophysics and quantum computing. I broke the story of CNET using AI to produce articles that turned out to be riddled with factual errors and plagiarism — a dam-breaking inflection point, as I've reported, that's inspired copycats and endless discourse while beguiling stakeholders ranging from tech giants to purveyors of spam around the web. My work at Futurism has been cited by publications including CBS News, the Los Angeles Times, Vice, Gizmodo, Engadget, the Verge, and Vanity Fair. I grew up in locales ranging from India to China, and now live in the exotic suburbs of Virginia. In my free time, I'm an avid reader of weird sci-fi literature, an aficionado of East Asian cinema, and, regrettably, a relapsed gamer. Allegedly, I’m working on a debut novel, currently untitled. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
