I’m tracking with your question. When we use AI as an umbrella term, it refers to such a vast set of technologies and tools and capabilities that we’re really just beginning to understand. So it’s kind of like asking, “Are there guardrails where books should not be used for certain things? Or where the internet should not be used?” I mean, it is quite broad. In that sense, the answer has to be yes. Of course there will be certain applications and uses that, no matter how much you try to redeem it, will destroy human flourishing. They’re going to be antithetical to it. The list would probably be what you’d expect, nefarious or destructive uses around mental health, adult entertainment, and so on.
For any single company to take the mantle of articulating what role AI should play in the church is too large a narrative role — it leads to contrived, diluted arguments. Products built around that question tend to be driven by fear of change rather than by a desire to equip people who want to be voices in the midst of it. The market for safety is easier to build for than the market for prophetic engagement. ecology-of-technology
