Artificial intelligence is shaping medicine, communication, and culture, and whether we like it or not, it’s shaping the conversation about life itself. If we want to accomplish our goal of protecting the unborn and supporting mothers in crisis, we must be at the forefront of utilizing AI – not as reluctant followers, but as innovative leaders. By harnessing its potential with wisdom and purpose, we can amplify our message, reach new generations, and save more lives.
Generation Z is a generation of AI enthusiasts. Recent studies indicate that more than 80% feel moderately to highly proficient in finding health-related content online. Eight percent specifically use AI (such as ChatGPT or Meta AI) as a resource for health and wellness information, and that number is skyrocketing. Behind those statistics are real people, young adults navigating fear, curiosity, and uncertainty about their health, relationships, and future families.
These aren’t abstract figures; they represent tens of thousands of young adults who are potential parents, voters, and allies in our cause. If we want to reach them, we must use the tools they already trust and rely on. Imagine AI-powered apps that immediately connect expectant mothers with local resources, or chatbots that provide compassionate, fact-based information on fetal development. Imagine digital tools that sense distress, offer hope, and connect a woman in crisis to real help in seconds. By meeting Gen Z where they are, we can inspire a new wave of pro-life advocates.

Our opponents already understand the power of AI, and they’re not waiting to use it. Planned Parenthood has been ahead of the curve in adopting this technology. They’ve launched Roo, an AI-powered chatbot specifically designed for teenagers, offering instant and private responses to questions about sexual health and reproductive choices. This tool, which is gender-neutral and accessible via text, has reached countless young people. Each conversation with Roo is a moment where a teen’s understanding of life, sex, and morality is being shaped without ever hearing a pro-life perspective.
AI chatbots enhance health literacy and autonomy, effectively expanding access to Planned Parenthood’s services. While we profoundly disagree with their mission, we can’t deny their effectiveness. They’ve used AI to build trust, provide round-the-clock support, and drive engagement. If they can use AI to normalize abortion, we can use it to humanize life. If they’re using AI to advance their agenda, why shouldn’t we harness it to promote life-affirming alternatives?
Historically, the pro-life movement has lagged in embracing technology, often due to valid concerns about privacy, ethics, and the dehumanizing potential of digital tools. We’ve seen Big Tech platforms suppress our voices, censoring pro-life content while amplifying opposing views. This has left us playing catch-up in an online world where algorithms dictate visibility. But the same technology that once silenced us can now help us speak louder and smarter than ever before. Ethical AI can help us analyze data to identify at-risk communities, create personalized outreach campaigns, and even simulate scenarios for training volunteers at pregnancy centers. Envision AI-enhanced ultrasounds that vividly reveal a baby’s heartbeat or predictive tools that identify where support services are needed most. These innovations aren’t about replacing human compassion—they’re about enhancing it.
That belief is what led us to create Olive, an AI chat assistant designed for pregnancy help centers to extend empathy, provide accurate information, and connect women with real, life-affirming care 24 hours a day.
Through innovations like this, we’re beginning to see what’s possible when technology serves a higher purpose. It’s time to move boldly but wisely: to use the world’s most advanced technology in service of the world’s most sacred cause. I’m not talking about blind adoption but thoughtful integration that amplifies our God-given mission. The stakes are too high to hesitate; every day, lives hang in the balance.
The pro-life movement has always been about hope, resilience, and innovation in the face of adversity. We were the first to turn ultrasound screens into windows of truth. Now, we can be the first to turn AI into a voice of hope. By leading in AI utilization, we can reach hearts and minds like never before, turning the tide toward a culture that cherishes every life. Let’s seize this moment together and make AI a force for good, protecting the vulnerable and building a brighter future.
