artificial intelligence

AI (Artificial Intelligence)—It’s the new buzzword. And it’s natural for our kids to be curious about it and all of it’s ever-increasing forms.

A new Catholic program using artificial intelligence, Magisterium AI, is promising to revolutionize academic research in Catholic education and holds the potential to disrupt long-held doctrines and beliefs.

When it comes to artificial intelligence (AI), the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission wants President Biden to give faith-based voices a seat at the decision-making table.

Theologian Dr. John Piper recently offered a stern warning to preachers leveraging generative artificial intelligence (AI) to draft sermons, emphasizing that AI will never be able to worship God and arguing that using it to create sermon material is dishonest.

As the technology behind generative artificial intelligence continues to advance, the use of AI has increased across a variety of societal sectors—including in the church. A Swiss church has even gone as far as to introduce worshippers to an AI Jesus. 

There are church leaders who want to ignore artificial intelligence (AI) completely and there are those who find it intriguing, but regardless of pastors’ feelings about the technology, it is essential that they engage with it.

Pastors and church leaders who are fearful about artificial intelligence have good reason to be. But they should not let their valid concerns prevent them from missing the opportunity the church has to shape the cultural conversation on AI, say industry and ministry leaders.

Pope Francis has made artificial intelligence one of the main issues of his pontificate.
