Advanced Tech Tools, Artificial Intelligence, and the Church – Jon Hirst S4 EP#121

In this episode, understand how AI (Artificial Intelligence) can be used by the Church and other ministries. Jon Hirst with SIL International explains some of the advanced tech tools being used and how AI adds value.

Jon explains the premise of AI having a computer do something that a human would have normally done. "Narrow intelligence" is a type of AI that is specific to a certain task it does for you. On the other hand, there is what's called "artificial general intelligence," which is what most people are talking about today when they talk about AI. It's the ability of a computer to do things that humans would do in a variety of areas of life. It feels real even though it's not something that is real or sentient. How can AI help ministries?

Learn how ministry's innovators are coming together to discuss the ethics of AI as well as the proper role of it. Learn how they can work together in intentional AI model training to have trusted AI models for ministry without embedded biases, unbiblical ideologies, and prejudices.
