US Protestant pastors and churchgoers have mixed views on artificial intelligence, according to a Lifeway Research study. Less than half of pastors say they are using AI, with 10% being regular users and 32% experimenting with it. Younger pastors, those in urban settings, and those with more formal education are more likely to adopt AI. Pastors are concerned about AI-generated content errors, unreliable sources, and potential biases. Over 4 in 5 pastors worry about AI content needing editing, and 3 in 4 say biases may exist in AI decision-making. Lutherans and Baptists are more skeptical of AI, while Holiness pastors are more likely to be adopters.
