For Scott Beck, Artificial Intelligence is a technological tool that can be used for human flourishing. For example, imagine your depressed teen searches a site asking for advice about living or dying. Then imagine that within less than a minute that teen gets a phone call from a pastor of a nearby church asking to have a talk about life, and to be a listening ear. This is the possible good of the algorithm-based AI technology imagined by "AI & the Church Initiative", a new effort just launched by Beck's company, Gloo, a technology platform dedicated to connecting the faith ecosystem. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith, Beck, founder and CEO of the Boulder, Colorado based Gloo says, "We believe there is a moral imperative to responsibly use technology to advance human flourishing. AI is a powerful technology that should better support, not replace, relationships." With most talk in the public square about the fears associated with AI, Gloo is seeing the good.
