Wherever you turn, it seems like AI is inescapable these days. 

Recognizing how much of an impact artificial intelligence is having on our lives, Canada and Bermuda’s Territorial Moral and Social Issues Committee created a three-part webinar series this fall that explores generative AI through a Christian lens.

Dr. Isaiah Allen is one of the presenters for the series. He’s a professor of religion at Booth University College and a soldier at Heritage Park Temple in Winnipeg. As we discuss on this episode, there are many important questions we need to ask about AI, particularly in our Salvation Army context. 

For example, How does AI use align with kingdom values and justice? Is it OK to use AI to write worship music or sermons? Could AI ever achieve some kind of personhood? 

Dr. Isaiah shares his thoughts, as an educator, a theologian and a Salvationist.
