The Church and Tech: Can Christians Use Artificial Intelligence to Advance the Gospel?

As I’ve been discussing, AI can be a blessing… a curse… a horror story.

I use AI in my advertising agency in a variety of ways. And I’ve found AI not to be correct, often creating misinformation based on its biased programming.

But can it be used to spread the Gospel and help Christians be more effective?

This week’s podcast discusses how Christians should learn about the pros and cons of AI and be informed about the technology before using it to advance the gospels. 

Shelly and I sat down for a special interview with James Spencer to discuss how AI can be used for good or for evil.

James explained how he’s using AI to help tutor students, which is one of the benefits of AI… However, he warned that broad-based use of AI, that’s “out there” for the general public could be used in bad ways, like for dispersing misinformation… or worse.

Anyone listening to this insightful podcast will benefit from what James Spencer has to say.

Here are just a few of the topics we discuss during the podcast:

• How flaws in data can cause flaws in AI
• What we can do to protect ourselves from scammers using AI technology
• How Blockchain technology can provide protection from AI
• How we can reap the benefits of AI and minimize the risks
• How AI can advance the Gospel

The podcast touches on these topics and so much more.

James Spencer is a theologian and Christian leader who helps individuals and organizations ask and answer the necessary questions so that they can move from where they are to where God desires them to be. He currently serves as President of D. L. Moody Center, an independent non-profit organization dedicated to proclaiming the Gospel and challenging God’s people to follow Jesus.
