What Happens When Millions Ask AI About God?

Matthew Sanders is a technologist working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and Catholic evangelization, building digital tools that are shaping how people encounter faith in the modern world.

In this conversation, he discusses the rise of AI as a space for spiritual inquiry, the millions of users engaging with Magisterium AI, and the kinds of personal and religious questions being asked through these systems. The discussion explores whether AI can serve as a form of pre-evangelization, the risks of mediating spiritual authority through technology, and what Catholics can expect Pope Leo to say in his forthcoming encyclical on AI.
