AI Summary

David Durman, a 45‑year‑old administrator at the University of Kentucky, has practiced Humanism for 30 years, a nontheist faith that emphasizes moral responsibility and human well‑being. He grew uncomfortable with the university’s increasing use of AI tools, noting that colleagues and leadership frequently suggest adopting them and even propose attending AI conventions. Durman actively disables AI features, such as Gemini on Google searches, to avoid tasks that conflict with his faith’s principles. His stance highlights a growing tension between institutional AI adoption and individual religious or philosophical convictions.
