Sunday, July 26th at Wedgewood: “The Artificial Intelligence Problem and a F(AI)thful Response” with Rev. Dr Shea Watts​
AI is everywhere. We are constantly being bombarded by its proliferation. From TV commercials to internet ads, big tech wants us to know that AI can drive progress and efficiency in unprecedented ways.
But that’s only half the picture. There are great liabilities and risks, too. Data centers are exploiting neighborhoods, draining them of finite resources such as water and electricity. Meanwhile, ChatGPT is having negative effects on children who are relying on the service as a substitute for learning critical life skills and knowledge. The cost of AI is more wide-reaching than many realize.
How should people of faith respond?
Join us Sunday at Wedgewood as Shea Watts shines light on this issue and considers how people of faith can respond.
