Compass Podcast: Finding the spirituality in the day-to-day

[118] Artificial intelligence and your spiritual journey

Listen Later

Are you ready to explore the intersections of artificial intelligence and spirituality? Join us on the latest episode of Compass as we dive into the impact of AI on the Christian spiritual journey.

We navigate the potential benefits and pitfalls of integrating AI into our everyday spirituality, play around with AI Jesus entities, and hear how Jay Cooper and the congregation of Violet Crown City Church have utilized artificial intelligence as part of their community life.

Here are a few key takeaways from this episode:

– AI can serve as a powerful tool for exploration and learning.
– It’s essential to remain skeptical of the limitations and potential biases AI may carry.
– The Christian spiritual journey is a beautiful, messy, and deeply personal endeavor. It is not about finding easy answers or relying on technological shortcuts.
