How are you using AI? How are people around you using it at work, school, home, within congregations, or elsewhere? What’s useful? Exciting? Challenging? What impacts are you noticing?
We'll be using this session to learn from each other based on our actual and observed experiences with AI. Some of that may be direct intentional use, but we can also explore where AI is popping up via different tools, services, apps, and platforms we use.
I'll share some of what I've been working on with AI, from discussing years of my training transcripts with AI to integrating ideas to experimenting with prompts and instructions to bring a little more wisdom and thoughtfulness to AI.
As always, these conversations aren’t debates or lectures, and we’re not trying to arrive at a shared position. We’re gathering around open questions, listening across different experiences and perspectives, and trying to understand together what is happening and what deserves our attention.
