硅谷知名投资人彼得·蒂尔宣称：严格监管科技与AI或将成为“敌基督”

近日，硅谷亿万富翁、PayPal联合创始人彼得·蒂尔在美国旧金山举行的一系列宗教讲座中抛出惊人观点。他声称，世界正临近“末日”，而圣经中预言的“敌基督”将以严厉监管科学、技术和人工智能的全球政府形式降临人间。

蒂尔近年来对末世论表现出浓厚兴趣。他在讲座中阐述其“推测性理论”：当人类面临核战争、环境灾难、生物武器及AI自主杀人机器人等生存威胁时，一个承诺提供“和平安全”的全球性极权政府将应运而生。而该政权通过不断渲染末日危机获取权力，实则正是现代版的“敌基督”。

值得注意的是，蒂尔强调美国政府因其全球影响力，本身既可能是遏制灾难的关键力量，也可能沦为“敌基督”的化身。他特别指出，总统选举的走向对此至关重要。这一言论与其长期支持前总统特朗普等政治立场形成微妙呼应。

此次讲座由与蒂尔关系密切的非营利组织“使徒行传17”主办，旨在向科技从业者传播基督教思想。尽管讲座内容涉及文艺复兴艺术和日本漫画等多元文化元素，但其核心主张始终明确：反对通过恐惧或监管来限制人工智能等科技进步，否则将加速“敌基督”的到来。

分析人士指出，蒂尔旗下公司深度涉足科技与国防领域，其反对技术监管的立场与其商业利益存在明显关联。此番将监管政策与宗教预言相捆绑的论述，在硅谷引发广泛争议。

在旧金山举行的四场宗教系列讲座中，彼得·蒂尔——没错，正是那位硅谷传奇——提出末世即将降临，而《圣经》中预言的敌基督者将以严苛科技与人工智能监管的形式现身。

硅谷反对AI监管的最新论调竟是：这简直堪称敌基督降临
这是彼得·蒂尔近期亲口对科技从业者们发表的真实言论。
值得注意的是，这位帕兰提尔公司联合创始人、科技亿万富翁兼风险投资家，在这些领域拥有既得经济利益。

57岁的蒂尔近来沉迷于末世论研究，对《圣经》和哲学典籍提出了玄奥解读。去年十二月，他与胡佛研究所的彼得·罗宾逊录制了两期关于末日预言的对谈节目，阐述了其"推测性论点"：科研与人工智能等技术已发展到可能引发文明毁灭的临界点。蒂尔认为，敌基督将以承诺监管技术的一世界政府形态出现。

"我的推论是：若敌基督掌权，必会终日谈论末日决战。"他援引《帖撒罗尼迦前书》5:3解释道，"'敌基督的口号是平安稳妥'——这本身无可指摘。但试想在存亡绝续的极端情境下，当和平安全的对立面是万物毁灭时，这个口号会产生截然不同的共鸣。"

他进一步指出，凭借经济、军事和意识形态霸权，美国本身就可能成为敌基督的候选者："若美国走向歧途，将意外实现新政主义者统治世界的愿景。美国既是全球化核心阵地，也是抵抗畸形全球化的前线。因此美国总统既可能是延缓末世的约束者，亦可能是敌基督的化身——这正是总统选举至关重要的原因。"（值得一提的是，蒂尔曾是特朗普总统及其副手万斯的重要金主。）

蒂尔由使徒行传17组织主办的系列讲座深化了这些观点，已远超"推测"范畴。《华尔街日报》总结称，其首讲聚焦敌基督以世界政府形态显现的命题：
核战争、环境灾难、生物武器乃至AI自主杀人机器等生存风险将催生承诺救世的一世界政府。蒂尔断言，这个手握实权的极权政权正是现代敌基督的化身——基督教教义中末日来临前与上帝为敌者。

梳理其既往演讲可发现，蒂尔借鉴了一种理论：敌基督可能是通过反复渲染末日危机来获取科技监管权力的魅力型个体或实体。据《日报》描述，讲座内容纵贯意大利文艺复兴画作至日本漫画，但核心始终如一："蒂尔告诫听众，对人工智能等技术进步的任何恐惧或抵制，都将加速敌基督的降临。"

使徒行传17组织由蒂尔友人运营，旨在为"精神漂泊的科技创业者与创意人群"传播基督教信仰。

In a four-part series of religious lectures in San Francisco, Peter Thiel — yes, that Peter Thiel — has argued that the End Times are nigh and that a biblical Antichrist — yes, that Antichrist — will come to Earth in the form of onerous government regulations placed on science, technology, and AI.
Silicon Valley’s latest argument against regulating AI: that would literally be the Antichrist
This is a real thing Peter Thiel told a group of tech professionals recently.
This is a real thing Peter Thiel told a group of tech professionals recently.
These are, incidentally, areas where the tech billionaire, venture capitalist, and cofounder of Palantir has a vested financial interest.
Thiel, 57, has lately expressed a fascination with eschatology, or the study of the end of the world, taking a notably esoteric interpretation of biblical and philosophical texts. Last December, Thiel recorded a two-part podcast about the apocalypse and ancient prophecies with the Hoover Institution’s Peter Robinson, where he hashed out what he called his “speculative thesis”: Human technologies, such as scientific research and artificial intelligence, have reached a point that they could conceivably cause global and civilizational destruction. The Antichrist, Thiel argued, would take the form of a one-world government that promised to regulate these technologies.
“This is sort of where my speculative thesis is, that if the Antichrist were to come to power, it would be by talking about Armageddon all the time,” he told Robinson. “It’s the 1 Thessalonians 5:3. ‘The slogan of the Antichrist is peace and safety,’ which is nothing wrong with peace and safety. But you have to sort of imagine that it resonates very differently in a world where the stakes are so absolute, where the stakes are so extreme, where the alternative to peace and safety is Armageddon and the destruction of all things.”
He added later that given its economic, military, and “somehow ideological” hegemony, the United States could itself be a contender for the Antichrist. “There still is a natural way where if things go wrong in the US, it would be the fulfillment of [Franklin D. Roosevelt’s] vision of the New Dealers running the world,” said Thiel. “And so the US is ground zero of globalization and it’s ground zero of the resistance to bad globalization. We’re both. That’s why it matters so much. The president of the United States maybe is the katechon [or] maybe it’s a type of Antichrist, but presidential elections matter.” (Incidentally, Thiel has been a staunch political and financial supporter of both President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, a former employee at Thiel’s venture capital firm.)
Thiel’s latest lecture series, hosted by the Acts 17 Collective, has been further developed from those ideas and appears to be well beyond “speculative.” As summarized by The Wall Street Journal, Thiel’s first talk focused on the Antichrist and how it would take the form of a one-world government:
Existential risks will present themselves in the form of nuclear war, environmental disaster, dangerously engineered bioweapons and even autonomous killer robots guided by AI.
As humans race toward a last battle—the Armageddon—a one-world government will form, promising peace and safety. In Thiel’s reckoning, this totalitarian authoritarian regime, with real teeth and real power, will be the coming of the modern-day Antichrist, a figure defined in Christian teachings as the personal opponent of God who will appear before the world ends…
According to a review of his past lectures, Thiel draws on a theory that the Antichrist could be an individual or entity that is incredibly charismatic but talks repeatedly about the end of the world, thereby convincing society to give it the power needed to regulate the existential risks from science and technology.
Per the Journal, this version of the talk included references to “Renaissance paintings from the Italian artist Luca Signorelli to Japanese comic books, also known as manga.” But the core message remains the same: “Thiel told attendees that “fearing or regulating [artificial intelligence or other technologies], or opposing technological progress, would hasten the coming of the Antichrist.”
Acts 17 is a nonprofit run by a Thiel associate that says its goal is to bring Christianity to “tech founders, producers, designers, and creatives” who feel “disconnected, anxious, and spiritually adrift.”
