Abstrak

This article explores the correlation between advances in digital technology and artificial intelligence and changes in spirituality and religion. Its primary focus is how contemporary technological advances, particularly AI, have revolutionized how individuals articulate, engage in, and assert their religious beliefs. The article explores new prospects, such as the accessibility of religious practices through digital platforms, alongside emerging challenges related to ethical dilemmas and the authenticity of spiritual encounters in cyberspace. It is imperative to establish a multidisciplinary discourse and ethical framework for AI to ensure that technology flourishes and enhances the spiritual aspect of human existence rather than eroding it. The deduction drawn is that, with the right vision and intelligence, technological advancement can serve as a conduit to more profound significance, provided human values are upheld.
