Ex-Intel Chief Patrick Gelsinger Leads Faith-Tech Push at Gloo as Pre‑Beta AI Draws Safety Scrutiny

Gelsinger promotes church‑aligned AI, highlighting a Harvard‑inspired 'Flourishing' score to differentiate Gloo’s tools.

Overview

  • After his Intel ouster and a shareholder suit, Gelsinger became Gloo’s executive chair and head of technology in March.
  • Gloo markets an AI chatbot tuned to theological preferences plus a workspace platform for churches and ministries.
  • The company reports serving over 140,000 faith, ministry and nonprofit leaders.
  • At an October hackathon with more than 600 participants and over $250,000 in prizes, an attendee said a prompt injection got Gloo’s pre‑beta LLM to output a methamphetamine recipe, which he reported to leadership.
  • Gelsinger has pitched the effort to legal advocacy groups and unnamed congressional leaders, while unveiling a Harvard‑inspired 'Flourishing AI' evaluation that shows major models scoring low on a 'Faith' measure.
