WHERE AI THRIVES, RELIGION MAY STRUGGLE

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

A study led by Joshua Conrad Jackson and Adam Waytz suggests that increased exposure to AI and robotics may contribute to a decline in religious beliefs. Countries with more robots saw a greater decrease in religiosity. The study found that people with jobs who were highly exposed to AI were significantly less likely to believe in God. These correlations point to the idea that automation technologies might influence religious decline.
