Mark Biltz: Why Seemingly Benign Artificial Intelligence Can Destroy Humanity by MARK BILTZ for Charisma Mag
If there’s a high-tech advancement that will affect our everyday lives, Elon Musk is likely commenting on it.
According to CNBC, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO says that artificial intelligence “doesn’t have to be evil to destroy humanity.” He’s making this bold claim in a documentary called Do You Trust This Computer? and warns that the creation of superintelligence could lead to an “immortal dictator.”
In his new book, Decoding the Antichrist and the End Times: What the Bible Says and What the Future Holds, author and pastor Mark Biltz says that humanity is desperately seeking someone with a strong hand to take the helm and bring about world peace. A central theme of Decoding the Antichrist is the role of technology in our future and even whether the Antichrist will have an artificial intelligence element.

“Some look for a strong leader who has the ability to compromise and appease every faction to stop all the madness,” Biltz says. “But what character traits are truly needed to navigate the strong currents of public opinion that shape the world we live in?
“Over the past few centuries, many have postulated who the Antichrist might be—speculating whether he would be a Muslim, a Jew or a Catholic Christian—but few people have ever wondered what he might be!” Biltz continues. “In this age of AI, some are wondering if the Antichrist might be some kind of super-intelligent hybrid human cyborg, and top experts are warning us of the malicious use of artificial intelligence.”
It’s no longer difficult to imagine the Antichrist in AI parameters—an Antichrist who can project himself all over the world as a hologram, demanding to be worshipped.
