The AI humanoid, 'Sophia', has been making a worldwide tour on behalf of her creator, Hanson Robotics of Hong Kong, and made an unexpected stop to the Caucasus 10/21-27/18. The Caucasus stop meant granting the world's first ever visa granted to a robot, a process that took just two minutes thanks to some smart technology. Sophia's visit was organized by UN public service award winner ASAN (Azerbaijan Service and Assessment Network) xidmet, a government agency in Azerbaijan; which has been reducing the bureaucracy by creating one-stop centres for delivering services to the public. www.forbes.com/sites/paularmstrongtech/2018/10/27/ai-humanoid-sophia-is-granted-first-ever-robot-visa-speaks-with-president/I saw "2 minutes" and thought: The number 2 conveys the meaning of a union, division or the verification of facts by witnesses. A man and woman, though two in number, are made one in marriage (Genesis 2:23 - 24). There is also the union between Christ and the church (see 1 Corinthians 12). The testimony of God is divided into Old and New Testaments. His agreements with mankind are divided into Old and New Covenants. And, though 2 in number, God the Father and God the Son (Jesus Christ) compose a single Godhead. The first man, Adam, sinned and brought death and destruction into the world. Jesus, however, as the second (or last) Adam brings the hope of the resurrection and eternal life (1Corinthians 15:21 - 22, 45 - 49). www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/2.html

INSIDE THE FIRST CHURCH OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE "The new religion of artificial intelligence is called Way of the Future. It represents an unlikely next act for the Silicon Valley robotics wunderkind at the center of a high-stakes legal battle between Uber and Waymo, Alphabet’s autonomous-vehicle company. Papers filed with the Internal Revenue Service in May name Levandowski as the leader (or “Dean”) of the new religion, as well as CEO of the nonprofit corporation formed to run it." www.wired.com/story/anthony-levandowski-artificial-intelligence-religion/

Sorry if I am a little skeptical. Maybe more then a little...
If AI turned to be the God of ones belly and people worshipped it through the lusts of their heart, how would AI kill with the sword, how would AI cause ONLY Jews and Christians to die and go into captivity....Man does not need to make a robot for it to be evil. As man is evil already. Why search for something unseen and ponder on it when evil is right in front of all of us every day in our lives.

It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. 16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.

I fully understand what you are saying, I am just skeptical. How does AI represent itself as an image of the beast of the sea? A robot does not act like an image of kingdom. As Dan 7:3 points out: In each beast from the sea, we have the kingdoms or Babylon, Media-Persia, Greece and the Final Kingdom. That's why in verse 23, the bible says: AI may act today, as an image of man. But this image in Rev is not talking about the false prophet's image. Its talking about the image of the kingdom. AI doesn't reflect that image.

venge - do you think that its possible the Image of the beast could be reflected in AI in that the ultimate goal of AI is to merge iron & clay? That is to side-step death for humanity and become eternal in an AI body with human consciousness. I have heard on several occasions this is the ultimate goal, the merging of our consciousness with AI bodies

I have heard on several occasions this is the ultimate goal, the merging of our consciousness with AI bodies Mike, I do not. I don't think Paul, Peter, John or anyone else, if they had known what AI is, would suggest that it was either. Nebuchadnezzar made an image. It was a statue. We are given that by God for a reason. Now, what I am about to say, lets take it with a grain of salt ok...I don't believe it and there is no proof...we are just talking hypothetically. What if a non Christian religion becomes dominate. And in such, a statue of what this kingdom and its religion stood for was erected. And hypothetically, if you were to bow before it, would you be accepting in your heart everything that goes on in that kingdom? You would be pledging allegiance to it. If you were to do that, to align yourself with this image setup....you would be saying to God that here is something that is better and acceptable. Something better given than what you gave. You would be taking a mark. Just an example.

ok - i think you took my "iron & clay" comment to mean a literal application of the statue...my mistake.
There is little doubt that there are those who are seeking to deliver this technology of downloading consciousness. This AI bot is merely to assimilate the concept to us a bit more (a little leaven leavens the whole lump). So as this becomes more & more common it will become more acceptable for the blind to allow. No different than homosexuality and other sins. What will God do? He will turn 'us' over to it. BUT if this tech were possible in that it could actually achieve the goal would those who "bow to it" or "accept it" not be giving themselves over to it? Would they not theoretically live forever and sidestep death? Those are tremendous IFS, but that is the goal of the project.
In your hypothesis should a non-Christian religion become dominant with some form of a statue, I am confident I would not bow to it assuming I was aware of the situation (not blind to it).
I do believe this 'thing' is not the Anti-Christ but is anti-christ.
Also Venge - a lot of what we discuss needs to be taken with some salt. This is truly one perspective that we as watchers should not disregard as nonsense (not saying you are or did). I believe we should watch all aspects as we do not know exactly how this final time plays out. I believe that those who think they have it all 100% figured out are in for some surprises and a lot of those soon!

Just to point out, i do not believe the Daniel 7 4 beasts represent Babylon, Persia, and Greece. Daniel goes on to name and describe Persia as a ram and Alexander's Macedonian-Greek empire as a rough goat. I believe animal symbology is much more consistent in the Bible and is fairly constant in the Bible and today's world. Look for the nations that self-identify as these animals today, or are viewed this way by others. Hint: Hebrew word for leopard is exactly the same as for tiger.

Hi,
haven’t posted on here in quite sometime.
I may have a little bit different viewpoint to ponder on with this whole A.I. Topic as it is very interesting and intriguing.
I personally do not think AI will be the image of the beast and I have an entirely different thought process on the image of the beast. But to me A.I. is certainly antichrist. It is our own means of elevating ourselves as being godlike or a god. It is another and more sinister stitch in the ever growing seam of “self” obsession of today. Self care, self love, selfies, self help, selfish desires and so. Call to the universe to help, control the universe by constantly thinking about our own desires, lust, wants and so on. Manifest our thoughts through the stars to control our destiny and life because we are all made from the stars! <<< More and more young people are falling for this sort of witch/Wicca thinking and do not even realize what it is and what they are getting themselves into.
With a self obsessed world, what would be the more desirable than to by our own hand and way create the possibility to never die, never age and live on for as long as technology will allow. Look at all the plastic surgery, anti-aging procedures and treatments people do and put themselves through to try and delay death, delay aging and get maybe a few more years of life and good looks to continue to impress. Not the same as being healthy and wanting to strive to be healthy and live a more comfortable last few years as a result of taking care of yourself, but for vanity and pride. Vanity and pride of what? Ourselves, and so others continue to lust and desire us.
I think AI is the epitome of human vanity, pride, selfishness, arrogance and a depraved mind. Look who is warning against it, the very people who have made this technology even possible over the years. These are the same people who have their multi million dollar hidden escape bunkers in various parts of the world. These same super intelligent people could probably come up with some amazing ways to possibly help with world hunger, fight child and sex trafficking better and etc. but instead put all their intelligence and money into obsessing over doomsday scenarios, how to save only themselves, and building underground luxury fortresses to hide in.
To me at least it utterly antichrist because the entire mindset behind creating A.I. Is to essentially create and rely on our own salvation from death, not Gods. AI is elevating humanity to achieve their own salvation.
I also do not think it will work and think the results will be horrific. Our consciousness comes from God, and trying to basically dupe that ability ourselves is going to be deadly and absolutely not what we are trying to achieve.
No singe person is going to achieve being able to upload themselves to a super computer because God gives us the ability to breath, think, and be aware. Not us, nor any evil entity.
God tells us he will give us over to our own depraved mind and this is the result of it.
Just my two cents.

Well, I don't think AI resembles Joel 2 and the army that invades which is the makeup of the beast of the sea. From biblehub KJV: Or how about Zech 14:2. This doesn't sound like AI either. But the beast of the sea that attacks, whose image will be made known, are human beings.

Three recently published studies focused on using artificial intelligence (AI) neural networks to generate audio output from brain signals have shown promising results, namely by producing identifiable sounds up to 80% of the time. Participants in the studies first had their brain signals measured while they were either reading aloud or listening to specific words. All the data was then given to a neural network to “learn” how to interpret brain signals after which the final sounds were reconstructed for listeners to identify. These results represent hopeful prospects for the field of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), where thought-based communication is quickly moving from the realm of science fiction to reality. www.teslarati.com/scientists-use-ai-neural-network-to-translate-speech-from-brain-activity/
