Settling Faith in a World of AI | Salt Lake City News

Elder Neil L. Andersen delivered a powerful message to BYU students, calling them to firmly anchor their faith in Jesus Christ amid today’s overwhelming information age. He reminded them that true discipleship requires clear purpose, humility, and a settled heart—having weighed all options and chosen Christ without doubt. Reflecting on his own 1973 conversion, he noted today’s students face unprecedented challenges, especially with AI and endless online distractions, joking that Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” might now begin with a hundred paths. Citing President Oaks, he affirmed that while reason can test revelation, revelation holds ultimate authority—something the internet often undermines. To combat doubt, Elder Andersen urged students to mentally box unanswered questions labeled “Answers Forthcoming,” then grounded their faith in ten core gospel truths. He challenged them to deeply engage with Christ’s teachings, pray more, read His words, and apply His principles—especially rereading the Book of Mormon, which he said is a hallmark of those who have settled the gospel’s divine truth in their hearts.
