Overview
- Patrick Gelsinger joined Gloo in March as executive chairman and head of technology after leaving Intel, declaring a mission to build technology that would "hasten the coming of Christ’s return."
- Gloo markets a church-focused workspace and an AI chatbot built on fine-tuned large language models, and the company says it serves more than 140,000 faith, ministry, and nonprofit leaders.
- An attendee at Gloo’s October hackathon said a pre-beta model yielded a methamphetamine recipe via prompt injection and reported the vulnerability to company leadership, which described the model as being opened to testers for feedback.
- Gelsinger is promoting faith-shaped AI as "another Gutenberg moment" for the Church and has presented Gloo’s work to legal advocacy groups and unnamed congressional leaders.
- The company launched a Flourishing AI evaluation adapted from Harvard’s Human Flourishing Program to score models on welfare metrics, including support for users’ spiritual growth.
