What about Ethics and AI and Faith....STOP.

But what about ethics, AI and church? Stop it. Just, just stop it. Check this out. One of the reasons I believe that we have gotten so consumed with like ethics and AI is because we don't see it elsewhere. All right, so here's my challenges to you. First of all, I want to challenge your church. If you're hesitant on bringing artificial intelligence to your church, for your church to have a human centric approach in the first place, to be well prioritized on the well being and dignity of the people who attend your church, does your church foster empathy and meaningful connections? Before we even talk about ethics, does your church care about people? Secondly, is your church transparent and accountable to itself? You're asking artificial intelligence to do something that your church isn't already doing. Does your church transparent and accountable unto itself? Are you sharing information with your church? Thirdly, are you non discriminatory? We're asking artificial intelligence to do something that you're not doing. We discriminate against LGBTQ communities. We discriminate against women in our churches. We still won't allow some women to preach. AI is a growing and evolving space in our world. We're asking it to be human centered. We're asking it to be transparent and accountable. We're asking it not to share so much data, and we're asking it to be non discriminatory. Maybe before we ask AI to do something for us, we need to do it in our churches first.
