I completely agree that the genie is out of the bottle and not going back in. AI is here. At the same time, I do think we need wisdom in how to use it. There are examples even from an ad for Google AI this Sunday that illustrate how AI tends to just plagiarize text found on the internet, which is its own problem, and copy things that just are not true (as you have highlighted in a previous post). I get playing with and learning AI. But I also want to be careful with what internal things are put out there. Future posts or Missio Nexus webinars on this would be very helpful of not just how to use AI, but best practices in using it.
Thanks for the Post, Ted. I usually see "AI" in the title of blog posts and skip it, as I feel I'm at a stage where I "get the gist", use it sometimes, but don't want to get into the weeds of the thinking about it... that said, I read this one, and I think you're exactly right. That we're in a new phase, there's a learning curve, but sticking to the learning curve is going to set ministry leaders up for figuring out how to do things in the future on this wild ride.
@James max7 has a nice handboook for thinking about using AI in the (kids) ministry space. It's 6 months old but probably still useful, but you're right, multiple ministry leadership circles should be considering it.
Ted... this artical is SO on point!! Thank you... We are now creating software that is customized just for us using AI... We have developed a CRM application for our mobilizers and an application that uses the Joshua Project API to identify Frontier People Groups near where we already have a presence. Great stuff... Thanks
