  • AI and the Church: Expectations, Possibilities, and Foundational Theological Principle
    Oct 3 2024

    Today's episode is a recorded town hall with Daren Erisman, Gretchen Huizinga, and Adam Graber. In the town hall, the AIF experts talked about differing Christian perspectives and how recent advances in generative artificial intelligence are raising issues, not only about what we're doing with AI, but what we're becoming with AI. From the use of AI related tools like prayer apps to exploring the possibility of a righteous AI, the conversation builds. And we wonder, in this emerging age of artificial intelligence, how do we reconcile the call to be both salt and light?
