“I know a lot about how to build software, deliver software at scale, make sure it’s secure, make sure it’s operational and reliable,” said Gelsinger. He is going to use his expertise to oversee the creation of a licensing platform and to help establish “standards for how AI systems should respond from a faith perspective.” Gloo will also be setting up a trust council to ensure best practices for the use of AI.
“We believe [AI] has to be open, inspected, has to be trusted,” Gelsinger said.
“Pat and I have had a great partnership for the last decade,” said Scott Beck, noting that in Gelsinger’s capacity as chairman of the board, the technologist “has helped us really tremendously with strategy and held us accountable on a quarterly basis to make sure that we’re delivering on behalf of all the stakeholders that we represent.”
Gelsinger’s extensive background in tech will “serve Gloo so that Gloo can serve others,” Beck said.
“We love the pastors, and we love the churches,” said Beck. Gloo’s mission involves shaping technology for good so church leaders can serve well and “transform their communities and have amazing life change in [their] congregants.”
Beck encouraged pastors and church leaders to “lean in. Don’t sit this one out…let’s learn together how to use these amazing capabilities.”

“Over the next five to 10 years, we see Gloo everywhere. We see Gloo global. We see every church and every organization that serves the church connected,” Beck said. “We see them being able to exchange in amazing ways with one another, in terms of content and ideas. We see being able to release the collective strength of that global community.”
