A new religion to worship Artificial Intelligence

According to a recent Backchannel profile, former Google and Uber engineer Anthony Levandowski, filed paperwork with the state of California in 2015 to establish "Way of the Future", a non-profit religious corporation dedicated to worshipping Artificial Intelligence (AI). The church's mission, according to paperwork obtained by Backchannel, is "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." The documents show Levandowski is CEO and President of Way of the Future. The former Google engineer is one of the young geniuses of robotics and technology in Silicon Valley, where he has built a prestigious career working on the development of the autonomous car, stained in recent years by various scandals of patent theft. However, little is known about his interest in developing this kind of new religion that points to the deification of technology.
