Artificial Intelligence is changing the world at a rapid pace—but how should people of faith respond?

This episode of Speaking of Faith, Bishop DeDe and Adam begin an important conversation about AI, technology, and what it means to remain deeply human in a rapidly changing digital age. Drawing from Bishop DeDe's recent pastoral letter on AI and technology, they explore both the promise and the challenges of emerging technologies through the lens of Christian faith.

Together they discuss:

• What Artificial Intelligence actually is—and what it isn't
• How AI differs from human intelligence and human creativity
• Why Christians should be concerned about truth, misinformation, and digital ethics
• The growing challenge of distinguishing reality from AI-generated content
• How technology can both connect and isolate us
• What previous technological revolutions can teach us about this moment
• Why relationship remains at the center of Christian faith
• How people of faith can engage new technologies responsibly without fear
• The importance of maintaining our humanity in an increasingly digital world

Bishop DeDe offers practical guidance for navigating AI with wisdom, curiosity, and discernment while remaining grounded in the Gospel's call to love God and love one another.
