While perhaps far off in the future, advances in artificial intelligence make the possibility of AI converts to Christianity a plausible eventuality. Should the Church accept these converts at face-value, offering them baptism? It is unclear whether such converts would be valid candidates for baptism as their status as persons—albeit synthetic persons—would itself be uncertain. In light of this ambiguity, this paper recommends that the Church face such a situation by redeploying a form of conditional baptism once offered to doubtful cases in the past—both for the benefit of the AI and for our own moral well-being.
