MIT Media Lab researchers advocate for decentralized AI to prevent data monopolies by big companies, promoting a 'mixture of experts' approach to enhance AI efficiency. Ethical considerations are paramount, with calls for AI development to align with human rights and values, emphasizing transparency as a moral imperative. In religious contexts, AI is being used creatively, from digital worship services to social media outreach, highlighting a need to balance technological advancements with spiritual beliefs. There is also a historical reflection on AI's capabilities to perform human-like tasks, raising questions about the moral dimensions of intelligent machines.
