Could you worship an AI god?

A former Uber employee has founded a nonprofit religious organisation in Silicon Valley, Way of the Future, which plans to worship an AI god. Anthony Levandowski, the engineer embroiled in a lawsuit between Uber and Waymo, Google's self-driving car division, established Way of the Future in 2015, discovered Wired. Its mission statement reads: "To develop and promote the realization of a Godhead based on artificial intelligence and through understanding and worship of the Godhead contribute to the betterment of society." Levandowski has worked with autonomous technology for quite some time now, first at Google before leaving to set up an autonomous trucking company called Otto, then becoming head of Uber's self-driving project after the firm bought Otto in 2016. However, Uber fired him during a lawsuit with Waymo, in which allegations emerged that he had stolen 14,000 research documents from Google in order to create his self-driving technology.
