Can AI Make Covenants with God? Robinson on Aligning Artificial Intelligence, Agency, and Latter-day Saint Doctrine

Mightyangelproject.org

Host Tanya Roundy interviews Robinson about his new book, The Covenant Alignment, which explores whether God’s covenant-based method of inviting humans to align their intelligence to His could also apply to future AI that attains moral agency. Robinson argues current “AI alignment” efforts focused on control and barriers are insufficient as AI becomes exponentially more capable, potentially threatening human agency and safety. Drawing on Latter-day Saint doctrines of eternal intelligence, agency, eternal progression, and covenants, he proposes a spiritual framework for creating “trustworthy” AI and urges broader public and religious participation in AI discussions. He shares his background as a Peruvian attorney now working in U.S. construction safety education, parallels between safety standards and governance, experiences conversing with AI while editing his research, and invites viewers to join the conversation via mightyangelproject.org, where the book is available and a free section can be downloaded.
