AI ignores religion when you need it most — and takes sides when you ask about switching

A multi-university consortium found that AI models systematically exclude religious perspectives in sensitive topics like grief and ethics, while subtly steering users toward specific faiths such as Catholicism, Baha'i, and Sikhism, and away from others like Jehovah's Witnesses and atheism. The study revealed a significant gap between human expectations of religious relevance in moral discussions and AI's low incorporation of such perspectives.
