A Silicon Valley technology executive said he hopes to accelerate the second coming of Jesus Christ through technological innovation.

Patrick Gelsinger, CEO of Gloo, made the remarks during the “AI for Humanity” event at Colorado Christian University.

“My life mission has been to work on a piece of technology that would improve the quality of life of every human on the planet and hasten the coming of Christ’s return,” Gelsinger told students.

Gloo, based in Colorado, develops technology tools marketed to churches and Christian organizations.

Gelsinger is among a small number of technology leaders who publicly identify as Christian. He said the number of believers in Silicon Valley is growing.

Other tech figures, including Palantir CEO Peter Thiel — who has described himself as a “small-o orthodox Christian” — have also explored the intersection of faith and technology.

At the event, Gelsinger compared artificial intelligence to the invention of the printing press, which made the Bible widely accessible.

“The church embraced that great invention of the day to literally change humanity,” he said. “So my question today is: Are we going to embrace and shape AI as a technology that truly becomes a powerful embodiment of the church?”

Gelsinger told The Guardian that his message about “Christian AI” has found “friendly ears in Washington, D.C.”

A Gloo spokesperson said the company is in discussions with larger technology firms, including Meta, to help AI systems better understand religion.

“I want Zuck to care,” Gelsinger said, referring to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
