Gospel musician Sonnie Badu has raised concerns about the growing danger that artificial intelligence (AI) poses to spirituality, stating that if unchecked, AI may even assume God’s place and take over church temples.
In a social media post on May 7, 2025, Prophet Badu discussed the necessity of balancing technological innovation with spiritual direction in light of the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence.
“Artificial Intelligence will contend with God, and very soon they’ll say God is no longer needed,” he cautioned.
According to the singer, it is essential for “the sons of God” to adopt spiritual stances in order to stop artificial intelligence from taking over religious organizations.
“If we don’t rise, soon even church temples will be taken over by AI,” Sonnie Badu warned.
He concluded by quoting the biblical phrase, “He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying,” stressing the need for spiritual discernment in the face of emerging technological threats.
He wrote: “It’s always the creator and inventor that wins—not the people. In this case, what will medical doctors do? In my view, Artificial Intelligence will contend with God, and very soon they’ll say God is no longer needed.
“There must be a balance. The sons of God must rise and take spiritual positions that will limit the intelligence of man. If we don’t rise, soon even church temples will be taken over by AI.
“This is just a son of Issachar telling you the time and season we are stepping into… He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying.”
