Who’s in Control? Understanding AI and Using It Wisely

Summary

Stephen Redden, managing partner at Rebar, brings experience across technology, church leadership, and missions to a conversation with host Ross Chapman about what AI is and how people of faith can use it wisely. They explore AI as predictive mathematics, its power to remove friction, the spiritual and relational risks of anthropomorphic AI, and practical ways to stay curious without surrendering human agency.
