Hallow app CEO and co-creator Alex Jones says that while artificial intelligence (AI) can be used for both evil and good, there is one central question people must ask when it comes to emerging technologies.
Jones said that a lot of friends and “fellow startup folks” who are working in AI are building “really mind-blowing tools that can do a lot of different things.”
AI is considered by many as one of the “scarier technologies,” which can be used for “tremendous, tremendous evil,” said Jones, naming the the internet’s “massive proliferation of pornography” as just one example.
For his team, as a development tool, AI “still makes a lot of errors — factual errors,” he said.
“You can’t really have ChatGPT write a blog,” he pointed out. But he said there’s something helpful about using it “to get from a blank piece of paper to something.”
Some are afraid that AI will take over the world and “become God.”
“We write it end to end,” he said of the actual produced content, “but sometimes you can have ChatGPT take a first stab.”
He continued, “You just need to edit it. You need to factcheck it super heavily.”
Currently, some of the most interesting capabilities of AI include “some of the art stuff that it can do,” he said.
“Now, still, you’ve got images [made by AI] where somebody has six fingers, or, you ask it to make a church and there are three crosses on top of the church,” he noted, laughing.
“And that is a question that scripture has already answered and Christianity has already given us.”
For Hallow, “probably the biggest opportunity with AI is in helping workers and those on the team to become a lot more efficient.”

The possibilities in the future of AI are endless, said Jones, noting that with coming technologies, “each person could create their own movie, or their own game.”
He continued, “And the fun part for me is that it’s just such a silly question – because God is God, right?”
He added, “I think that’s maybe an interesting question for people who don’t have a god. I already talk to my God every day.”

“Then the letter closes with, ‘Whether we are young or old, let us rise to the challenge of new discoveries and technologies by bringing to them a moral vision rooted in our religious faith, in our respect for the human person, and our commitment to transform the world in accordance with God’s plan,'” said Jones.
