The AI & the Church

Our Statement on AI & the Church

 

With the release and advancement of widely available tools from organizations including OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Adobe, the conversation around AI has reached a tipping point. For the global faith ecosystem, the timing presents both an opportunity and a responsibility to not just be part of the conversation but to help drive the conversation.

We believe it is a moral imperative to responsibly use technology to advance human flourishing. AI is a powerful technology that should better enable, not replace, relationships.

While we acknowledge the possibility for positive impact, we are also aware of the potential for harm if misused. For this reason, we are deeply committed  to connecting and serving the faith ecosystem with responsible approaches to AI and a strong set of standards for its appropriate use in ministry.

As AI transforms various aspects of culture, the Church has a responsibility to actively participate and lead in the global dialogue on its moral, ethical, legal, and human rights implications.

Gloo pledges to connect and serve the global Church by convening diverse subject matter experts and faith representatives to provide sound, thoughtful, and yet confident leadership in the realm of AI. Ultimately, this releases the collective might of the Church and the passion in every person to champion the growth of another. This way, every person can fully become all that they were created to be.
