Abstract—This paper delves into the intricate interplay between spirituality, existentialism, and artificial intelligence (AI) in the contemporary age. Drawing on the philosophical insights of existentialist thinkers such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Sartre, the exploration navigates themes of individual freedom, meaning-making, and existential dread in the context of AI technology. Ethical dilemmas surrounding the integration of AI into various aspects of human life are examined, alongside the potential for AI to serve as a transformative tool for spiritual growth. The paper concludes with a reflection on the spiritual implications of AI advancements, challenging traditional understandings of consciousness, morality, and the essence of the human experience..

keywords—Spirituality, existentialism, artificial intelligence, ethical dilemmas, transformation, consciousness, meaning-making, existential dread, technological advancement.
