Answers In Genesis Seeking $3M To Build An A.I. Powered 'Noah' Hologram

As Answers in Genesis begins (AIG) their year-end fundraising campaign, they are seeking donations to several keep ministry opportunities, having found a donor that will match money received 100% up to the end of the year.

The ministry focuses include $8M for a Creation Museum upgrade & expansion, $5M to expand the Ark Encounter, and $3M to create and develop AI Genesis, which includes a realistic, interactive, Noah hologram/avatar running off of a custom non-woke artificial intelligence.

They explain on their donation page:

“As artificial intelligence continues to disrupt various fields and become a key tool in many technology platforms, it is crucial that Christian ministries don’t get left behind. AI platforms have biases that are not always favorable to biblical teaching and fall short of offering a truly Christian product. This AI Genesis project will help us innovate new ways of outreach, such as the following to name a few:

Lay the foundation for new, state-of-the-art interactive opportunities at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum with a faith-based AI platform.
Create education tools that can be used to train children up in the knowledge of the Bible and apologetics.
Develop a realistic Noah character (an “avatar”) that will be projected into spaces at the Ark Encounter. Noah will be animated in real time by an AI engine to interact with guests in natural conversation when they ask him questions about certain subjects, such as the ark and the global flood.”

AIG also provided a mockup on what this might look like:

Speaking further about the need to expand into AI, AIG shared in an earlier statement:

Given the massive advancements in technology and the increasing use of AI (artificial intelligence) in so many areas, we believed it important to produce our own AI (we call it AI Genesis) that does not have the fallible assumptions the world builds into such technology but will be built from the ground up, based on God-honoring principles. This technology will enable us to disseminate information to generations worldwide, make our website fun to use and to locate information, and enhance various exhibits at our attractions—including innovative ways to provide more information and fun for children at the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter.

AI Genesis will also enable us to greatly increase our translation ministry to take all our content to those who don’t have access to it because of the language barrier. I’m so excited about this for the future.
