It's the question everyone's asking.
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being woven into every aspect of modern technology, there can be many benefits - yet there are also aspects that cause concern. As a church leader, you have probably asked yourself the question: How should I use AI in my church?
We want to help guide you as you answer this question. Though the conference has ended, replays and slide decks from the conference will be available soon.
