The Role of Spiritual Imagination in the Nurturing of AI

From a gospel perspective, the real issue is not primarily technical but spiritual: AI can dull our capacity to discern what is true and distort our imaginative vision of God, ourselves, and the world. In this talk, David will develop two key concepts:

• Restorative Vision: Resisting the ways AI can distort and dull perception and leaning towards the gospel hope of how Spirit lead imagination can lead to a powerful and redemptive use of AI to reimagine work.
• Spiritual Permanence: Cultivating attentiveness to God’s presence in daily life as the anchor for discernment in a rapidly shifting technological landscape.
