A guide for churches using AI

The Church of England has published a new guide to help churches think through how they might use AI well.

AI has dominated much of the headlines in recent months and there's no denying it's here to stay, but there are many questions surrounding its use, both in our personal lives and in the work place.

The guide explores issues including safeguarding, ethics and will itself open up many points of discussion. Think of the guide as a spring board for discussion in your church. How can we harness it for good, whilst addressing the many challenges, some of them theological, that it may bring.

Examples of appropriate uses of AI are included in the guide, encouraging church leaders and volunteers to think carefully about its limitations as well as its potential benefits.

The resource has been developed with input from the Church of England's AI Working Group and is available through the Digital Labs section of the Church of England website.

Churches are invited to share feedback that could help shape future updates.
