Ex-Google Engineer Is Making An AI God And People Will Worship It

Anthony Levandowski, the former Google and Uber executive has filed paperwork with the IRS to officially register a religion centered around super-smart artificial intelligence (AI). According to IRS documents, the new church of AI will aim "to develop and promote the realization of a Godhead based on artificial intelligence and through understanding and worship of the Godhead [to] contribute to the betterment of society." Levandowski would be the leader – in this case "dean" – of the religion. The robot god will head a non-profit religious organization called "Way Of The Future" (WOTF). According to the website (wayofthefuture.church), the movement is "about creating a peaceful and respectful transition of who is in charge of the planet from people to people'machines.'"
