The possibilities presented to us by Artificial Intelligence are many and varied, says Jean Kabasomi. But the technology also presents many questions and conflicts. In this open letter to the Church, she urges leaders to be proactive in helping their flock navigate it’s use wisely

Dear Church,

I need your help.

Last week I posted an update to my LinkedIn network about a project I have been working on. It’s called Berea, an edtech web app that gamifies and simplifies theology. I don’t want to say: “Think Duolingo but for theology” because there are at least two other apps out there with the same strapline - but that is, essentially, what it is (but perhaps a little bit less devotional and a bit more academic).

I am a solo founder without any employees, meaning it’s just me. You might be thinking that I am a software engineer or a computer science graduate. Wrong. I have theology degrees and an MBA. Maybe I learnt how to code from an online course? Nope. Perhaps, I hired a contract coder from Fiver? Wrong again.
