Pastor, author and singer Sonnie Badu has expressed deep concerns over the advent and advancement of artificial intelligence (AI).

On his Facebook timeline, he indicated technological breakthroughs like AI benefitted only the brains behind them while exploiting users.

“It’s always the creator and inventor that wins – not the people,” he said.

He was reacting to news that China had unveiled the first-ever AI-powered hospital and so he asked, “In this case what will medical doctors do?”

The Rock Hill Chapel, Atlanta, USA, founder and leader asserted, “Artificial Intelligence will contend with God, and very soon they’ll say God is no longer needed”.

To remedy this looming catastrophe, Badu noting he was a divinely discerning the times suggested AI could threaten Christian worship. Thus, he urged the Christian community to urgently rise up against AI.

“There must be a balance. The sons of God must rise and take spiritual positions that will limit the intelligence of man,” he said.

“If we don’t rise, soon even church temples will be taken over by AI.

“This is just a son of Issachar telling you the time and season we are stepping into…

“He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying.”
