When AI Will Need God

This year, AI became impossible to ignore,

shaping geopolitics, markets, and how we work.

Whether it is a bubble or not matters less than one fact:

AI is here to stay.

And that is where the deeper question begins.

AI will give us clarity.

Unprecedented clarity.

It will map the world outside us, and increasingly, the world within us.

It will explain, predict, and optimize almost everything.

But clarity is not direction.

As answers multiply, a different gap will emerge: not how to live, but why.

Not uncertainty, but meaning.

The real risk is not ignorance.

It is getting trapped in loops:

loops of short-term optimization,

loops where rational decisions are detached from purpose,

loops where perfection becomes the goal.

And once perfection is commoditized, everything starts to look the same.

Value fades.

Personality fades.

At that point, we will need a compass, not another model.

Not a framework of rules, and not a list of do’s and don’ts.

But a perspective rooted in love, responsibility, and respect, toward others and toward ourselves.

A belief not meant to standardize people, cultures, or identities,

but to help us deal with fear, guilt, negative emotions, and uncertainty, without escaping into ideology or optimization.

Because eudaimonia, human flourishing, does not exist in isolation.

Our inner harmony depends on how we relate to the world around us.

And our harmony with the world depends on our inner state.

They are inseparable.

Perhaps this is when humanity will begin searching again, not for more answers, but for orientation.

Not for certainty, but for meaning.

Not for a God that explains the world,

but for a perspective that helps us live fully within it,

even when reality remains complex, imperfect, and challenging.

And maybe what we pass on to future generations will not be our most intelligent systems,

but the example that we chose depth over efficiency,

purpose over perfection,

and meaning over clarity alone.

With just a few days left before the year closes,

this is one of the reflections I’m taking into 2026.
