AI’s Practical Place in Spreading the Gospel
We will explore how artificial intelligence can augment ministry, parish activities, and community engagement. Much like groundbreaking technologies of the past—such as the printing press, the internet, and the smartphone—AI holds the potential to reshape the way we share and live the gospel in today’s world. The talk will cover the essentials of AI for beginners, demystifying the technology behind large language models (LLMs), their capabilities, limitations, and practical applications. We’ll dive into real-world examples of organizations deploying AI-driven tools tailored for specific use cases, from creating engaging content to fostering more connected, responsive communities.
