Oh yes, Cosmism. Afriend who studies International Relations and occult history put me onto this.

I was thinking you could trace the religious origins of "AI" even further back, to the Jewish stories about the golem. A being made of clay (often containing silica), animated by having names of god (software?) inscribed on them, or put in their mouths.
