As the level of international cooperation among AI&cognitive science researchers densifies, it becomes more and more probable that in decades to follow, machines will invade more and more domains of life which were up to know considered „strictly human“ - e.g. moral, spiritual or sexual domain. This could possibly lead to certain clashes with institutions which consider themselves to be the keepers and protectors of such domains – the most prominent of which are religious institutions.

Given the fact that these institutions still either directly govern or at least silently influence behaviours of billions of human beings, they cannot be simply defined as obsolete in face of everstill growing presence of machines on our planet.
