After former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger capped off a 40+ year career at the semiconductor giant in December, many wondered where would Gelsinger go next. On Thursday, the former Intel CEO revealed one piece of his next chapter: trying to ensure AI models support a flourishing humanity.

In partnership with a “faith tech” company he first invested in roughly 10 years ago called Gloo, Gelsinger launched a new benchmark — Flourishing AI, or FAI — to test how well AI models align with certain human values. The FAI benchmark is based on The Global Flourshing Study, a survey directed by Harvard and Baylor University, to measure human well-being around the world.

Gloo took six core categories from the study — Character and Virtue; Close Social Relationships, Happiness and Life Satisfaction, Meaning and Purpose, Mental and Physical Health, Financial and Material Stability — and added one more, Faith and Spirituality, to test LLMs.

In an interview with The New Stack, Gelsinger said he’s “lived at the intersection of faith tech my entire life.”
