Google, the Oracle
Some tech companies think they can help you know your future. Imagine a personal assistant—like Apple's Siri—that could provide you with specific advice about your future health issues, financial investments, and more, receiving answers from an all-knowing "oracle": a vast interactive storehouse of knowledge.
According to a recent article on New Scientist, Google is building the largest store of knowledge in human history—without any human help. Their "Knowledge Vault" gathers and merges information from across the web, and supposedly "promises to let Google answer questions like an oracle rather than a search engine, and even to turn a new lens on human history."
Possible Preaching Angle:
But think of this—even the most advanced AI can never compete with our omniscient God. Isn't it comforting to know we have a God who knows the present, the past, and the future? We may try to know everything, but there is only One who ever will.
