GPT, deepfakes, and more…

Books and movies have long hypothesized about dystopian future scenarios where robots take over. But only in recent months has Artificial Intelligence actually become a real thing that is all around us, seemingly overnight. From ChatGPT to Dall-E to deepfakes … and from Microsoft to OpenAI to Elon Musk … everyone seems to be talking about AI.

The rise of machine learning, large language models, voice simulation, chatbots, image generators and more raise profound and sometimes scary questions about technology and the future. How will we prevent cheating in school? What is “real” art anymore? How do I know I’m talking to a real person versus a computer? Future generations in particular will be raised in an environment not only with ready access to cell phones and social media but also incredibly powerful AI tools, the likes of which few of us really understand.

Join us for a four-week series with Pastor Lanier where we will introduce the capabilities of AI and reflect on the implications of new technologies from a Christian perspective.
