Nollywood actress Ruth Kadiri has stirred conversations online after describing the Holy Spirit as “God’s first AI,” a remark she says reflects divine guidance for believers.
Kadiri made the statement in a video shared on her Instagram page, where she spoke about the growing influence of artificial intelligence and its impact on spiritual life.
In the video, the actress warned that people may be underestimating the broader implications of technological advancement. She also claimed that negative forces are working in ways that are difficult for humans to fully comprehend.
Her main concern, however, centered on Christians increasingly turning to artificial intelligence for answers, rather than seeking direction through their faith.
According to Kadiri, she believes the Holy Spirit serves a role similar to what many now expect from AI—providing insight, solutions, and guidance. She said this understanding was revealed to her as a reminder of the spiritual resources already available to believers.
“A lot of Christians are beginning to depend on AI for solutions,” she said, adding that such reliance could lead to a sense of emptiness if spiritual guidance is ignored.
Kadiri urged believers to remain mindful of their faith, emphasizing that the Holy Spirit should remain their primary source of direction.
She also recounted a recent personal experience to illustrate her point. The actress said she had struggled with focus while working on a script and felt mentally overwhelmed for several days.
After taking time to pray, she said she gained clarity and resolved issues that had previously stalled her work. She attributed the breakthrough to the intervention of the Holy Spirit.
Kadiri’s comments have since generated mixed reactions online, with some praising her perspective on faith and others questioning the comparison between spirituality and artificial intelligence.
The discussion adds to ongoing conversations about the intersection of religion and technology in a rapidly evolving digital age.
