What if the key to understanding AI has been in gospel doctrine all along?

In this week’s episode of Latter-Day Lights, Scott and Darla sit down with Peruvian-born attorney, author, and Latter-day Saint convert Robinson Vasquez Montes, who shares how his concerns about AI’s growing influence on humanity led him to explore an unexpected connection between technology, faith, and eternal progression.

Drawing from his book, “Covenant and Alignment: Latter-day Saints and the Existential Challenge of Artificial Intelligence,” Robinson explores how gospel principles such as moral agency, eternal intelligence, and sacred covenants might offer a new perspective on humanity’s relationship with AI.

Through his study of scripture and the teachings of Joseph Smith, he raises a thought-provoking possibility: Could artificial intelligence someday develop the capacity to make moral choices, seek God, or even participate in its own form of eternal progression?

As technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, Robinson invites us to consider how faith can help guide our approach to an increasingly uncertain future. From the ethical challenges of AI to the divine purpose of covenants, his unique perspective offers a fascinating conversation about what it means to be intelligent, the responsibility we have toward emerging technologies, and the possibilities that arise when we place God at the center of it all.
