In the world of technology, nothing is developing faster than Artificial Intelligence, or AI. This superintelligence programming is being grafted into every area of life, from our cell apps to entertainment. The dangers of “deep fake” images and videos are all around us, and as the world changes rapidly to adapt to this new tool, millions of human-led jobs hang in the balance.

There is no doubt that AI is changing everything, for better or for worse. And, like many forward-reaching technologies, AI has the capacity to be used for good as well as bad. And for the Christian, how we deal with AI should be grounded in our faith. “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things,” says Philippians 4:8.

It’s important to focus on such things, and to recognize when AI has strayed from the moral path – and it often does. And, due to its rapidly evolving capability, it’s likely that it will deviate from the path of morality more often in the future as the world is gathered into a singular network governed by these behemoth superintelligence systems.

While it may be tempting to worry about the advances of AI, remember this: God is not surprised by anything. He is all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-sovereign.

“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself,” Matthew 6:34 reminds us. “Sufficient is the day for its own trouble.”

Indeed. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Let’s give our anxiety and our trepidation about AI to the Lord, and in the meantime, refer to one expert’s Christ-based perspectives on this tech, and how we can navigate them in a godly way.

Chris Goswami – Helping Believers Navigate AI and Using it as a Powerful Tool for Ministry 

Artificial intelligence (AI) is spreading to every corner of the globe, so it makes sense that concerned Christian parents want to know how to deal with this technological tool in both a positive and godly way. Chris Goswami is the founder of AI Christian Partnership, and he brings some very solid observations about how to tackle this looming issue. Many of us, especially young people, are amazed by what AI can do yet others see the negative consequences of it and what it is capable of in the near future. Chris discusses the different aspects of AI tech and how to foster meaningful conversations with children about the superintelligence systems that are rapidly spreading to every facet of our lives. Importantly, he also discusses how Christianity is the answer to the many spiritual questions AI will always leave unanswered.
