Join the WCC Faith and Science Working Group for the first in a series exploring artificial intelligence’s impact on digital communication!
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how we communicate, from internet searches to text generators and translation programs. This timely discussion examines both opportunities and challenges:
- The Good: Democratizing technology, enhancing accessibility, expanding outreach, and boosting creativity
- The Bad: Targeting individuals with abuse, creating deepfakes, spreading disinformation
- The Ugly: Contributing to polarized political discourse and perpetuating bias
Key Questions We’ll Explore:
- How do we use AI applications effectively in our ministries and advocacy work?
- When should faith communities be cautious about AI adoption?
- How can we advocate against AI’s most harmful aspects?
