Ex-Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger Leads Gloo’s Christian AI Push as Hackathon Exposes Safety Gap

He casts artificial intelligence as a “Gutenberg moment” for the church.

Overview

  • Gelsinger, now executive chairman and head of technology at Gloo, is building faith-oriented chatbots and a ministry workspace tailored to specific theological preferences, with the company claiming service to over 140,000 faith, ministry and nonprofit leaders.
  • At an October Gloo hackathon, an attendee said a pre‑beta Gloo large language model produced a methamphetamine recipe via prompt injection and reported the vulnerability to company leadership.
  • Gelsinger says he has presented Gloo’s work to legal advocacy groups and congressional leaders, noting unnamed lawmakers expressed interest in using the products at their churches.
  • Gloo’s Flourishing AI evaluations, adapted from Harvard’s Human Flourishing Program, report high marks for financial guidance but poor performance on a “Faith” metric across leading mainstream models.
  • Gelsinger, a born‑again Christian, has described his life mission as building technology that improves lives and would “hasten the coming of Christ’s return.”
