JD Vance talks end times, Antichrist and AI on faith podcast

The vice president, who has been an advocate of building data centers to support artificial intelligence, told podcaster Bryce Crawford that some uses of AI are “satanic.”

Vice President JD Vance warned about the dangers of artificial intelligence Tuesday and said he wouldn’t be “shocked” if we were living in the “end times” and the Antichrist was walking the Earth.

Vance made the remarks in a wide-ranging interview on faith with the popular Christian podcaster Bryce Crawford.

During the hourlong sit-down, Crawford asked Vance his perspective on whether the end times are coming — or here.

“Do I think that we’re in the end times? I don’t know, and I think that it’s probably bad for me spiritually to focus too much on it, because there are, like, things you got to do. I got to be good to my wife. I got to be good to my kids. I have to be, you know, as good of a leader as I can for the United States of America,” Vance replied.

“I think that there are, like, things about the world that make me feel, like, not shocked if the Antichrist was walking among us. But again, I try not to focus too much on it,” he said.
