What happened:
A former Google artificial intelligence engineer named Anthony Levandowski, wants to create a deity named GodHead with the help of artificial intelligence. The cult is called the Way of the Future its mission:
“To develop and promote the realization of a Godhead based on artificial intelligence and through understanding and worship of the Godhead contribute to the betterment of society.”

Explanation:
Artificial intelligence (AI, also machine intelligence, MI) is apparently intelligent behaviour by machines, rather than the natural intelligence (NI) of humans and other animals.
In computer science AI research is defined as the study of "intelligent agents": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal.
Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is applied when a machine mimics "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as "learning" and "problem solving".

No doubt. I've been carrying about about Google's AI / AGI activities (with NASA & DARPA) since 2005. It was pretty much their dream from day one, back when they were a startup funded by NASA + DARPA + NSA + NSF + CIA.
