The Story in Brief
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has sparked debate with a social media post predicting that artificial intelligence will replace organised religion as it evolves into Artificial General Intelligence and Artificial Super Intelligence. On X, he argued that AI's omnipresence and predictive power will leave no room for scepticism, unlike traditional belief systems. He drew parallels to the printing press, modern science and nuclear weapons as earlier blows to religious authority.
Varma said stepping away from AI-driven systems will not be a viable choice for individuals or society. On the work front, he is returning to Hindi cinema with horror-comedy 'Police Station Mein Bhoot' alongside Manoj Bajpayee, and will direct 'Police Company' starring Harshvardhan Rane.
The Indian Opinion
RGV’s claim that AI will be an undeniable new faith borrows from every tech utopian script since the printing press. But information authority is not moral authority, no algorithm has yet answered why we live or die. Religious scepticism remains possible even as we use GPS and Google. The real test is not whether AI predicts better, but whether any community will pray to it. Can code ever inspire sacrifice or compassion?
