The Hidden Biases in Modern AI

By Jeff Kolar

Modern AI systems, often called Large Language Models, learn from the vast expanse of the internet. While powerful, this training data is a mirror of human society, reflecting both its triumphs and its flaws. As a result, AI can unintentionally learn and perpetuate harmful biases related to gender, race, and even religion. This can manifest as stereotypes in generated text or images, reinforcing negative associations that are contrary to a worldview of equality and respect. At Kingdom AI, we recognize this challenge and believe it's a critical reason to be intentional about the data we use.

The Dangers of Unfiltered AI Training

By Jeff Kolar

The digital world is filled with more than just biased information; it also contains content that is explicitly unethical, hateful, or even illegal. When AI models are trained on this unfiltered data, they can become tools for spreading misinformation that seems credible or generating toxic language that harms communities. This presents a significant risk for any organization, but especially for those in ministry and education, where truth and safety are paramount. It highlights the necessity of a 'digital discipleship' for our AI, ensuring its learning environment is clean and principled.

A Better Way: Value-Based AI Alignment

By Jeff Kolar

The solution to the problem of wayward AI isn't to abandon the technology, but to guide it with a strong moral compass. In the AI industry, this is known as 'AI Alignment'—the process of ensuring an AI's goals align with human values. The most effective way to achieve this is by being deliberate about what the AI learns. Instead of feeding it an unfiltered internet, we can provide it with a curated dataset that reflects the principles we uphold. By grounding our models in scripture, we are performing a foundational act of alignment, creating technology that is not only intelligent but also wise, safe, and beneficial for the Kingdom.
