Generative Artificial Intelligence for Local Churches: Risk Management and Policy Development
Applications of generative artificial intelligence technologies have exploded in the past few years since ChatGPT was introduced by OpenAI, Inc. in 2022. ChatGPT and other large language models are routinely used to conduct research, draft documents and communications, and analyze data. Image generators like Midjourney and music generators like Soundful can produce complex music and graphics in response to simple prompts by an individual. The risks and opportunities of using these generative artificial intelligence (“genAI”) models are not unique for churches and religious organizations but may have special implications in these settings. Learn more about how to manage the risks of using genAI through policy development at a webinar sponsored by the Insurance Board on June 18, 2024 at 2:00pm Eastern. Register here.
