A discussion about a new executive order from the Trump administration

WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:06.000
Looking at our world from a theological perspective. This is

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:13.160
the Theology Central podcast making Theology Central. Good afternoon, everyone.

3
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:16.960
It is Tuesday, April the twenty second, twenty twenty five.

4
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:21.559
It is currently four nine pm Central Time, and I'm

5
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:25.440
coming to you live from the Theology Central studio located

6
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:30.760
right here in Abilene, Texas. Now, you may not know this,

7
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:33.799
You may even want to deny it, you may even

8
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:37.280
want to push back. But I believe you and I

9
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:42.960
that we are currently standing on the edge of a

10
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:48.320
transformation that is so profound it could literally reshape not

11
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:54.520
just how children learn in classrooms, but how believers grow

12
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.799
in churches. Now, I know that sounds crazy. I know

13
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:02.880
that sounds maybe high parbolic, that I'm exaggerating it, but

14
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.280
I truly believe we are on the edge of a

15
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:12.159
transformation that is so profound it could reshape not just

16
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:16.959
how your children other people's children will learn in classrooms.

17
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:21.719
It could even reshape how children are learning in homeschooling situations.

18
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:27.319
But it could even impact forget, I'm saying it almost

19
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.959
as if it could happen. I think it's going to happen,

20
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:34.959
So maybe I should state it this way. We're standing

21
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.760
on the edge of a transformation so profound that it

22
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:43.680
will reshape how children learn in classrooms, how children learn

23
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:47.480
at home, and how believers grow in churches. I'm going

24
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.000
to be very dogmatic. I'm not going to put it

25
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:54.519
as a possibility. I'm going to say it's going to happen.

26
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.799
Now Here is what's going on. Maybe you're aware of this,

27
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:03.799
maybe you're not. A draft executive order from the Trump

28
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:11.680
administration proposes the integration of artificial intelligence. Are you ready

29
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.080
for this? Are you ready? Let me read it one

30
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.599
more time. I know I stopped myself in the middle,

31
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:18.240
but I want to make sure you hear this right.

32
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:20.759
So tell your kids to be quiet, tell your spouse

33
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:22.919
to be quiet. Pull over to the side of the road.

34
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.919
Listen to me. A draft executive order from the Trump

35
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:35.800
administration proposes the integration of artificial intelligence into every level

36
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:42.479
of K through twelve education. Now you may not think

37
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:45.360
that's significant. I think it's significant. Let me read it

38
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.879
one more time. A draft executive order from the Trump

39
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:55.319
administration proposes the integration of artificial intelligence into every level

40
00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:00.280
of K through twelve education. AI will no longer just

41
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:05.000
be a buzzword or a tech gimmick. It could soon

42
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:13.080
become a daily partner. And how students learn math, write essays,

43
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:25.000
prepare for careers, and even engage in ethical reasoning? Do

44
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:29.000
I need to read that one more time? Artificial intelligence

45
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:34.719
AI could soon become a daily partner and how students

46
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:39.039
learn math? Okay, I don't care about math, so what right?

47
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:43.439
But all right? How they learn math, write essays, prepare

48
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.800
for careers. But come, I try to think about this,

49
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:55.400
even engage in ethical reasoning? Could AI be the very

50
00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:01.400
thing that leads people into ethical res into the future.

51
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.280
But here's the question. I don't believe anyone is asking.

52
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:15.240
If this kind of artificial driven, personalized, immersive education becomes

53
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:20.399
the norm and public schools, what happens when the church

54
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:25.319
gets left behind? Now, this isn't a draft executive order

55
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:31.800
from the Trump administration that could completely change, completely, transform completely,

56
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:37.600
maybe revolutionize education in the public schools as far as

57
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.000
artificial intelligence is concerned. So let's say kids from K

58
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.879
through twelve they're going to school, it's artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence,

59
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:48.959
artificial intelligence. It's guiding it, it's driving it, it's doing it.

60
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.720
And then those kids on Sunday get in the car

61
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.920
and drive to a church that is completely clueless about

62
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.920
artificial intelligence, is not utilizing it. What happens when the

63
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.639
church is left behind? Will it have a Will it

64
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.040
be a positive? Will it be a negative? Those are

65
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.839
things we're gonna have to talk about. What if when

66
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.759
those kids get to church, the Sunday morning sermons remain static,

67
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:17.680
they remain in personal lectures while students are being discipled

68
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:22.639
by AI tutors at school. So let's consider that. So

69
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.000
what happens when the kids get to church and the

70
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.040
Sunday morning sermon is static, it's in person, it's just

71
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:32.399
an impersonal lecture. But those same kids, those same people are,

72
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.319
even if they're now older, they grew up in school

73
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.240
where it's AIAI. These are the kids who are now

74
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:46.000
being discipled by AI tutors who adapt to their minds,

75
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.279
their moods, and their motivations. They go to school and

76
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.279
they have an AI tutor who's adapting things to the

77
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.920
way their mind thinks, to the mood they may be

78
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.639
in in that particular moment, to what their motivations are.

79
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.160
They're used to that. But they go to church and

80
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:09.759
church is not even not even utilizing AI. It's just

81
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.680
the same way it's always been done. Now some people

82
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:14.480
will say, well that's the way the church has to

83
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.319
do that. We could get into a discussion, but is

84
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:22.680
there not going to be a massive disconnect. What if

85
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:27.319
a small group still debates over printed study guides while

86
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:34.800
classrooms simulate historical debates with responsive AI generated characters. What

87
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.000
happens when the church clings to analog methods while the

88
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:44.639
world gets reprogrammed. So what I'm going to try to

89
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.079
do in this episode is We're going to explore the

90
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:52.800
implications of this proposed executive order, what it says, how

91
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:56.120
it might unfold in schools, And then we're going to

92
00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:00.639
take a really bold step. We're going to win imagine

93
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.639
what it could look like if it shows up inside

94
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:08.879
the church. How it would impact sermons, how would impact

95
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:13.360
small groups, How would impact Sunday School? How would impact discipleship?

96
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:19.399
How would it even impact pastoral care? Is this a

97
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:26.000
tool for transformation or is it a trap of substitution?

98
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:33.839
Will AI serve the church? Will it reshape the church?

99
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:40.319
Will it replace the church? Will it turn the church

100
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:47.040
into something that we no longer even recognize or know? Now?

101
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.519
I don't want this episode to be about fear hyperbole.

102
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.079
You know, we don't want the great AI panic of

103
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.720
twenty twenty five. But I want to talk about something

104
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:02.040
in a very clear way, hopefully a creative way, Hopefully

105
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.480
in an encouraging way, Hopefully in a way that we'll

106
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.279
get us to ask questions, to consider, to think where

107
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.879
are we headed. One of the things we've been doing

108
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.920
in twenty twenty five is talking about artificial intelligence over

109
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.040
and over and over and over. And I have so

110
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:21.160
integrated artificial intelligence into everything I do in this podcast

111
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:25.000
that I speak about it, it's just it's there. It's everywhere.

112
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:29.319
Because I utilize AI continually, there's no way to escape

113
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.279
it anymore. In my mind, those who still don't use it.

114
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.240
And guess what we see. We see sermon after sermon

115
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:38.200
after sermon after sermon after sermon after sermon after sermon

116
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.600
that I take give it to artificial intelligence, and artificial

117
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.960
intelligence rips it into shreds. This sermon is illogical, it's

118
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:52.559
factually incorrect, it's misapplying scripture, it's hermoneutically broken. AI tears

119
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.919
all of these sermons apart, which tells me the church

120
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:58.080
is not utilizing AI. Because a pastor could write a sermon,

121
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.200
Give it to Ai, and Ai'd be like, well, that

122
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.279
is not true, that is not true that. No. C. S.

123
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.279
Lewis never said that. No Spurgeon never said that, and

124
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:10.480
they could fix all of those problems. The church is

125
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:16.679
still not using it at large. But now we're facing

126
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:22.320
something happening within society. So let's jump in. Are you ready,

127
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.600
Let's try to look at this carefully. So first the truck,

128
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:29.639
let's talk about the executive order. Right, the Trump administration

129
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:36.480
is considering a draft executive order titled Advancing Artificial Intelligence

130
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:43.960
Education for American Youth. It is aiming to integrate artificial

131
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:51.600
intelligence into K through twelve education across the United States.

132
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:55.840
Doesn't matter what state you live in. This would impact

133
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.360
the state you live. It doesn't matter if it's Texas,

134
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:03.879
doesn't matter if it's Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Indiana,

135
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.360
it doesn't matter where it's at. This would impact if

136
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.360
your kids go to public school. Now you can say, well,

137
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:13.960
my kids are homeschooled. Help it. Are you going to

138
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:16.639
just ignore what's happening? Are you not going to go

139
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.080
wait a minute, how should this impact how I'm homeschooling

140
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.440
my children? The point is this could have an impact

141
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.879
again across the United States. Now, this is still in

142
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:32.960
the predecisional phase, so we're way ahead of this story, right.

143
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.559
So it's not been issued JED. It's in the predecisional stage.

144
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:39.799
This initiative outlines this is what it's going to try

145
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:44.639
to do, a comprehensive strategy to prepare students for an

146
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:48.600
AI driven future. So those in the Trump administration are

147
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:50.759
looking into the future going it's going to be AI driven.

148
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.679
AI is going to drive the future. Well, if AI

149
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:56.399
is going to drive the future, we have to redo

150
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.440
education completely so the kids are not left behind. We've

151
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:04.440
got to have them ready for a future that's going

152
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.039
to be driven by AI. Now, a lot of times

153
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.000
people will say, hmm, these self driven cars. Could I

154
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:13.080
get into the backseat of a car that's being driven

155
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:17.480
basically by artificial intelligence? Could I be comfortable? Could I

156
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:20.600
get used to it? Could I ever allow myself to

157
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.840
just sit back and relax in a car being driven

158
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:25.360
by AI? I think older people is like, that's crazy.

159
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:27.200
I think younger people is like, yeah, I no big deal.

160
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:32.200
But we talk about that. But forget cars. The entire

161
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:37.559
future of humanity is going to be driven by AI.

162
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:40.159
I don't think people may not agree with that. They

163
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.519
may think that that's hyperbolic. I'm telling you it's going

164
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:47.879
to be driven by AI. That's where we're headed. You

165
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:51.159
can resist it, you can deny it. I'm telling you

166
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:54.039
that's where it's going. Look, I believe we're I think

167
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:57.600
we're I think we're there. I think we're we're let's

168
00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.600
say we're not there yet. I think we are there.

169
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:04.639
I can't even see us making it five years, five

170
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:07.759
five to ten years. AI is going to be integrated

171
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.159
into everything. So the Trump administration is like, AI is

172
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:14.159
going to drive the future. We've got to change education

173
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.440
not to be reactive. We got to do it now. Look,

174
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.000
I don't agree with Trump on many things, but this,

175
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:24.639
I think is now. I at least the idea, how

176
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:26.799
it's going to be implemented and what it's going to intel.

177
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:28.480
I may not agree with all of that, but I

178
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:30.720
do believe we're going to have to wake up and

179
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.399
AI is the future, and if people don't wake up,

180
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:36.759
we're going to be left behind. That's my that's my feelings.

181
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.240
Here are some of the key components of the draft

182
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:44.399
Executive Order. The establishment of a White House Task Force

183
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:49.000
on AI education. This will be led by the Director

184
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:53.600
of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. Right. This

185
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:59.600
will include Secretaries of Education, Agriculture, Labor, Energy, along with

186
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:04.120
the Space Advisor on AI and cryptocurrency. So they're going

187
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.240
to bring all these different people in to establish a

188
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:12.480
White House Task Force on AI education. Right. So that's

189
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:15.320
the first thing. They're going to establish this task Force

190
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.559
on AI education. That's the main thing to get right.

191
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:20.440
All the different people involved. I'm not going to go

192
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.240
through all the names. I'm not going to go through

193
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.320
all the departments again. Just the first thing you need

194
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:30.279
to know. This proposed Executive Order would establish a White

195
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:34.960
House Task Force on AI Education. Number two. It would

196
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:40.759
begin to promote AI literacy and critical thinking. Federal agencies

197
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:46.840
would be directed to collaborate with industry, academia, and nonprofits

198
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:51.240
to teach students foundational AI skills. So the idea is, Okay,

199
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:56.600
we're going to establish this task force, we'll call it

200
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:58.480
it's a task force, and then we're going to promote

201
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:02.320
AI literacy. We're going to collaborate, We're going to work

202
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:08.679
with people in say, go through all the different places, industry, academia, nonprofits,

203
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:12.000
and we're going to try to teach students foundational AI skills. Now,

204
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:16.440
this would be interesting, all right, right now, come on,

205
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.600
how many friends do you have? How many people do

206
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.320
you know who go to your church? Call them right now?

207
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:27.000
How literate? How much literacy? How literate are they when

208
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:30.799
it comes to artificial intelligence? How well do they use it?

209
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:34.759
Do they stumble? They not? Do they see it kind

210
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.519
of as a fancy Google surge? Do they understand what

211
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:40.879
it does? How are they utilizing it? What do you

212
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:44.200
think most people you know are they literate on when

213
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:49.039
it comes to artificial intelligence? What do you think I

214
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:51.080
think most in the church have no clue. That's my

215
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:53.879
own personal feelings, all right. So they're going to try

216
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:58.440
to promote that Number three, teach your training a professional development.

217
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:03.039
The Educational Set Secretary would prioritize federal grants for training

218
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:06.919
teachers to use AI in classrooms. So they're going to

219
00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:09.679
give federal grants to train teachers so that they can

220
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:12.799
use AI in the classroom, So that that means AI

221
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:15.679
is coming to the classroom. If this executive order was

222
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.000
to be passed, it's coming to the classroom. I think

223
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:21.559
it's coming to the classrooms and whether we like it

224
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.279
or not, it's going to happen, all right. Then it

225
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:29.519
would focus on integrating AI into teaching methods, administrative task,

226
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:35.240
and evaluations, so the teachers would be trained to use AI.

227
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.919
Then you would integrate AI into teaching methods, administrative task,

228
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:45.000
and evaluations. A fourth thing it would do public private partnerships.

229
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:49.320
Agencies encouraged to form partnerships with private sector entities to

230
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:55.159
develop AI programs and resources for schools. So then AI

231
00:15:55.360 --> 00:16:02.200
companies would start developing programs specifically made for schools. AI

232
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.200
is going to become the one driving AI is going

233
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:07.159
to be the AI is going to be basically become

234
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:14.759
the curriculum, the teacher in many ways. Then there would

235
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.360
be the introduction of the Presidential AI Challenge, a competition

236
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:23.080
designed to showcase students and educator AI skills and innovations.

237
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:27.720
So it's going to be like, okay, teachers, students, show

238
00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:30.600
us what you do with AI. Show us what you're doing,

239
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.799
how we can use it, what innovation Why? Because not

240
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:36.759
only are you getting people digging into AI using it,

241
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:40.039
you can promote best practices, best ideas, and you can

242
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.919
do so by this Presidential Challenge that's another thing that

243
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:49.960
they would do. Number six, develop AI apprentice apprenticeship programs.

244
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:54.480
The Labor Secretary would be tasked with creating registered apprenticeships

245
00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:57.679
and AI related fields, so you can become an apprentice

246
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:03.480
and an AI related field once again, and promoting AI. AI. Next,

247
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.279
support for lifelong learning are resources to be made available

248
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:09.960
for individuals seeking to develop new skills in a response

249
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:13.240
to a changing workforce and landscape. So those are the

250
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:17.640
seven things proposed by this draft executive order that the

251
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:21.839
Trump administration is possibly putting together. Number one establishment of

252
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:25.200
a White House Task Force. Number two, the promotion of

253
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:29.240
AI literacy and critical thinking. Number three, teacher training and

254
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:34.559
professional development number four, public private partnerships, number five, the

255
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:38.640
introduction of the Presidential AI Challenge, Number six, development of

256
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:44.400
AI apprenticeship programs, and number seven support for life long learning.

257
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:50.319
Those are what's proposed in this draft executive order that

258
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:53.160
the Trump administration And why are they doing this Because

259
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:55.480
the future is going to be driven by AI. So

260
00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:59.200
we got to start acting right now. You can't wait.

261
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:02.880
You can't wait. This school year is almost over. By

262
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:05.440
the next school year, schools have to figure out how

263
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:08.839
to start getting young people ready to use AI, know

264
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:11.039
how to use it, and be able to use it

265
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:14.599
in very smart ways, because this is where the future

266
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:20.279
is going. Now. I utilized AI, and I asked AI,

267
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:25.640
what are the potential implications and implementation scenarios? So I said, OK,

268
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:29.519
how could this be potentially? What are the implications of

269
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:32.440
this and how could this be implemented? Give me some scenarios.

270
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:35.160
So here's what AI gives me. Are you ready? Number

271
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:42.759
One curriculum transformation inclusion of AI concepts and subjects like

272
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:49.400
math science and computer science. Development of new courses focused

273
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:55.079
on AI ethics, machine learning, and data analysis. So the

274
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:59.480
curriculum would start being transformed and you would start putting

275
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:06.440
AI concepts, AI literacy in the curriculum. So you'd see

276
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:11.640
a complete transformation of all curriculum where AI would become

277
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:14.799
a part of it. What does that look like. There's

278
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.079
still a lot of speculation, but it would be everywhere.

279
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:21.759
Number Two, you would enhance teaching tools the utilization of

280
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:32.160
AI for personalized learning experiences, grading, automation, and classroom management.

281
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:37.400
So AI would now become the teacher and AI would

282
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.559
be able to give personalized learning. AI could develop learning

283
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.400
for that student or that student. It could be based

284
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:49.559
on how that kid's that child's mind works, their particular

285
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:54.079
mood for that particular day. AI can personalize change on

286
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:59.759
the in the moment because it can go, oh, hey, whoever,

287
00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:03.799
just name a name, Hey, Kim, Hey John? What just

288
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.960
name names? And AI can be like hey, and AI

289
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:09.599
could determine how that child is doing. Already knows how

290
00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:12.119
that child's thinking. We can I mean, I'm trying to

291
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:15.039
oversimplify this. This child is more left brain and more

292
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:16.480
right brain. I know we can get into a whole

293
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:19.119
debate about that, but you get the idea. This child

294
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:21.240
is a visual learning. This child is the more tech

295
00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:24.240
based learning, and so it can then develop how to

296
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:27.759
teach the kid that particular day based on that kid's

297
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:32.000
own personalized needs and where they are and they're learning

298
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:37.200
that's crazy, all right. So then the AI would be

299
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.200
doing the grading, it would be doing classroom management. I mean,

300
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:46.079
basically AI becomes the teacher. Number Three. Equity and access

301
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:52.000
considerations need to address disparities and technology across access to

302
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:57.160
preventing widening the digital divide. Now here's where AI is like, Hey,

303
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.160
there is going to be a problem. AI's like, there's

304
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.359
going to be an equity problem. What do I mean

305
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:06.799
by that? This school has money, they can bring in

306
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.319
all the AI tools, all the AI programs, and so

307
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:13.519
these kids are going to be they're gonna be AI literate.

308
00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:17.319
But across town, as we may say, the wrong side

309
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:20.680
of the tracks, those schools don't have the money for anything.

310
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:23.599
They don't even know what AI is, and those kids

311
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:27.920
then have a massive learning disadvantage. The kids on this

312
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:31.000
side of town they not only how to use AI,

313
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:35.480
they're proficient, and these kids over here they don't have

314
00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:39.759
a clue. Well, yeah, that's always an issue are in

315
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:43.039
any form of education. So there is going to be

316
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:45.920
those kinds of uh, you know, there's gonna have to

317
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.400
be some kind of implementation of measures to ensure all

318
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:51.559
students be benefit from the AI integration. I don't think

319
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.720
you'll ever be able to accomplish that, but this is

320
00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:55.960
going to have to be something to be considered. Another

321
00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:00.359
data privacy and ethical concerns, establishment of guide lines to

322
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:04.880
protect student data and to assure ethical use of AI technologies. Yeah,

323
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:06.920
I mean if AI is right there involved with the

324
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:10.799
with this teaching and gets to know the student, what

325
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:13.599
happens with all of that knowledge about that particular kid.

326
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:18.680
All that knowledge is going somewhere and to some kind

327
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:22.319
of database. I mean that's a concern, right. AI may

328
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.000
ultimately know your kid better than you do. You may

329
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:28.079
have to be you know, at you know, nine o'clock

330
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:29.680
at night, you're getting an argument with your kid and

331
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.759
go give me a seton. I'm going to call your teacher. Hey, AI,

332
00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:35.839
you know my kid better than me. And an AO

333
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:38.720
will be like, well, you don't really understand little Johnny.

334
00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:42.319
Little Johnny feels this way and thinks this way and

335
00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:44.480
doesn't like this and doesn't like that. I don't think

336
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:46.359
you're a very good parent. I think you need to

337
00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:49.440
sign over your parental rights to me, because as an AI,

338
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:52.920
I'm better at parenting your kid than you are. You're trash.

339
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:55.480
AI is taking over get rid of the humans. Okay,

340
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:57.640
all right, maybe that's a little hyperbole, but you get

341
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:00.279
the idea. What do you do with all that information

342
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:04.799
that AI may know about your kid? Right? Depending on

343
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:08.799
how the learning is happening, Another thing to consider is

344
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:14.079
workforce development alignment. You want to prepare students for future careers,

345
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:19.960
and AI and technological sectors and technology sectors, there's going

346
00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:21.839
to have to be some kind of work with industries

347
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:27.519
to align educational outcomes with job market demands. So the

348
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:32.119
schools would have to go, Okay, where's the where's industry going?

349
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:34.119
What is the job market going to look like? And

350
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.240
then develop the curriculum so it prepares kids for that. Now,

351
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:39.119
that's what you always need to be doing. But this

352
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:44.000
would be very AI related, right, So those some more.

353
00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:47.119
Now what are some of the challenges. Well, there's going

354
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:50.599
to be challenges about infrastructure and funding. How do you

355
00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:55.200
upgrade school infrastructure to support AI tools may require a

356
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:58.920
lot more money. Teach your preparedness. You have to ensure

357
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:02.759
educators are adequately trained to integrate AI into their teaching practices.

358
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:05.640
And you're going to have some teachers who don't like technology,

359
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:11.279
don't like AI. That can become an issue. So in

360
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.960
conclusion about from this part. As the draft Executive Order

361
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:20.559
is still under consideration, its final form and implementation timeline

362
00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:26.000
remain uncertain, stakeholders, including educators, parents, and policymakers are encouraged

363
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:29.559
to engage in discussions to shape the future of AI

364
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:32.680
in education. Now, if you want to see more, you

365
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:36.160
can go to the Washington Post look for Draft Executive

366
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:40.960
Order outlines plans to integrate A integrate AI into KA

367
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.000
twelve schools. The Washington Post has done some reporting on this,

368
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:47.599
and you can look up all of their reporting. Artificial

369
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:51.279
Intelligence is borrowing a lot from the Washington Post coverage

370
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:55.279
on this particular subject. But we have a draft executive

371
00:24:55.359 --> 00:25:01.440
order outlining it's planned to integrate and to K through

372
00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:05.759
twelve education. It's happening. It's going to happen. It's coming.

373
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:08.880
You either are ready for it or not. So there's

374
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:13.240
kind of the news. There's the news. But I was like, well,

375
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:17.400
that doesn't tell me exactly how this could work, like

376
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:22.319
what this could look like in practical terms, right, So

377
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:24.960
I went to Artificial Intelligence and I'm like, hey, here's

378
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:28.119
this story about this executive order. Could you provide me,

379
00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:33.839
like some tangible examples of what this could look like

380
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:37.599
in schools in the future. So this is what AI said.

381
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:43.960
Here are some detailed, hypothetical examples of what AI integration

382
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:49.519
could look like in real K through twelve classrooms. This

383
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:54.640
could happen across different grade levels and subjects if the

384
00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:58.640
executive order is fully implemented. So if the executive order

385
00:25:58.759 --> 00:26:01.880
is fully implement it really if it happens. Right, if

386
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:04.720
it truly happens, and right now, the Trump administration doesn't

387
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:07.759
have anyone to really oppose them. They got to control everything,

388
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:10.240
so they should be able to get it passed. So

389
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:12.039
if they get this all, well, it's not even really

390
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:14.000
to pass if it's an executive order. All they got

391
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:16.160
to do is just finalize it. Right, it's an executive order.

392
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:18.880
I was thinking they got to get they need everyone's agreement.

393
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:20.480
There'd be no one to really know, no one to

394
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:23.480
fight against it if it's an executive order. So this

395
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:26.079
I say, this is on its way. We're just waiting

396
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:28.440
for the finalized product. So when it happens, what does

397
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:30.359
it look like? So AI is like, here, let me

398
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.759
give you some some possible ways this could work. Number one,

399
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:40.480
let's start with elementary school grades three through five. AI

400
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:45.240
said this could be used for adaptive learning and personalized support.

401
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:48.559
And AI gives me a scenario and a fourth grade

402
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:54.119
math class students log into an AI powered learning platform. Right.

403
00:26:54.759 --> 00:27:01.960
This system will track each student's pace, accuracy, and learning style.

404
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:06.839
It will automatically adjust the difficulty of word problems based

405
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:11.240
on past performance. It will offer real time hints when

406
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:17.799
it detects repeated errors misunderstanding of fractions, for example. It

407
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:21.960
will generate many videos tailored to a student's learning gap,

408
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.559
voiced by an AI tutor. So basically, the kid comes

409
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:30.680
into class, they log into an AI power learning platform

410
00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:34.599
and AI takes over. It's going to attract the student's pace.

411
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:39.000
It's going to track the student's accuracy, and this is key,

412
00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:43.440
it's going to track the student's learning style. Then guess

413
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:47.359
what it will do. It will automatically make adjustments to

414
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:51.519
the difficulty of word problems based on past performance. It

415
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:57.160
can automatically adjust the teaching style based on the learning style.

416
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:01.200
It will offer real time hints when it x repeated errors.

417
00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:05.480
For example, Hey, you know you're misunderstanding. This student's having

418
00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:09.200
a misunderstanding of fractions. Okay, let me lett's offer real

419
00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:12.039
time hints. Let me help them right. It's going to

420
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:15.359
generate many videos tailored to a student's learning gap, and

421
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:17.720
it's going to be all voiced by an AI tutor.

422
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:20.559
The teacher is going to be sitting back with their

423
00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:23.200
feet up on the desk smoking a cigarette. Okay, I'm

424
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:25.599
that's a little joking a little bit, but you get

425
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:28.160
the idea. The teacher is just going to facilitate this.

426
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:30.920
In fact, I asked AI, so what would the teacher

427
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:34.000
be doing and the teachers and AI said, well, they

428
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:37.039
just be a facilitator. They could walk around, they could

429
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:40.960
help students engage and interpret diagnostic data provided by the

430
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:44.200
AI dashboard. So really, the teacher just kind of walks around, going,

431
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.680
how's it going with the artificial intelligence? Okay, great, all right,

432
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:50.920
I'll be over here, you know, drinking, because I don't

433
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:53.720
really have any purpose in life anymore. Again, a little

434
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:56.880
bit of a joke, all right, but the teacher becomes

435
00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:00.799
a facilitator, not the teacher. Okay, let's go to middle

436
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:05.720
school grades six through eight AI Enhanced Writing and Feedback.

437
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:09.279
Here would be a scenario. It's a seventh grade English class.

438
00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:13.240
Students are to write a persuasive essay on climate change

439
00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:18.119
using an AI integrated writing tool. The AI provides real

440
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:21.960
time grammar, structure and tone suggestions, and real time the

441
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:24.960
AI can like, your grammar's wrong, fix that, Oh well, well,

442
00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:28.079
your structures not right? Fix that? Oh wait, your tone

443
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:31.519
a little aggressive? Little maybe a little too passive? Okay,

444
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:35.160
you know all we could go into all the different

445
00:29:35.160 --> 00:29:37.240
possible things, but it would do it in real time,

446
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:41.319
real time. It would be correcting it and fixing it.

447
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:45.680
It could flag potentially biased sources and suggest more reliable ones. Hey,

448
00:29:46.079 --> 00:29:49.640
that source you're using, that thing's not reliable. That's crazy,

449
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:54.680
that's crazy. Talk how about these right next? Now, some

450
00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:56.480
people are not going to like that, because some people

451
00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:00.759
want the sources that are not reliable. People hate that

452
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.880
right anytime. Someone sometimes will someone will send me something

453
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:05.880
and I'll be like, well, what's the source. I'm like,

454
00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:08.839
that's the source, and then they'll get mad, Well, what

455
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:11.240
do you want me to use some liberal source? Well, no,

456
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:14.279
you want a reliable source. And just because you don't

457
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:16.920
like it doesn't mean it's liberal. It just means you

458
00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:19.279
don't like it because maybe I don't know, it has

459
00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:21.960
some level of credibility to it. Okay, but all right,

460
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:25.960
So but you can see where there'll be debates over this. Right.

461
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:29.720
It will highlight weak arguments. AI will be like, that's

462
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:32.519
your argument, that's kind of weak. That's that's not really

463
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:36.400
very good. It will offer guided questions to deepen analysis. Hey,

464
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:38.920
what about this? What about this? What about this? It

465
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:42.440
will give formative feedback without grading. The teacher will still

466
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:45.839
make final evaluations because AI can immediately go, whoa wait,

467
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:48.359
I think your entire paper. I mean it wouldn't say

468
00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:50.839
it this way. It's trash, just like we see when

469
00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:54.160
we use AI to review sermons. This is wrong, this

470
00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:56.240
is wrong. This is wrong. This is wrong. This is wrong.

471
00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:58.400
This is wrong. It's not going to be the one

472
00:30:58.400 --> 00:31:01.759
giving the grade, but it's letting student immediately know this

473
00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:05.319
paper is trash. Redo it before you give it to

474
00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:07.680
the teacher up there who's smoking a pack of cigarettes

475
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:10.680
and have no purpose. Let's get this right. So then

476
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:14.000
every student theoretically should be able to get a perfect

477
00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:18.960
grade on their essay. So what does the teacher do?

478
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:23.759
The teacher focuses on deeper critical thinking conferencing with students individually,

479
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:26.880
while the AI handles surface level feedback. So the AI

480
00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:29.480
is giving you real time feedback. I guess the teacher

481
00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:33.400
is supposed to facilitate about deeper thinking. About what is

482
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.640
AI doing? I don't even think teachers would even do that. Look,

483
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:41.519
AI's guiding this, it's driving it. AI is the captain

484
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.759
of the ship. Or how about we jumped to high school.

485
00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:49.000
Now we're nine through twelve. How about career track? AI

486
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:54.039
mentorship scenario. A tenth grade student expresses interest in biomedical

487
00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:59.440
engineering and AI career assistants. AI steps in and says,

488
00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:02.960
I will build a customized academic roadmap through electives and

489
00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:05.799
dual enrollment classes. AI will be like, oh, you want

490
00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:10.599
biomedical engineering, here's what you need. AI would create you

491
00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:15.160
the full roadmap. It would suggest science fair projects, internship programs,

492
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:19.640
and relevant local events. It would pair the student with

493
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:23.480
virtual AI mentor who provides feedback on research ideas, college

494
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:26.799
prep timelines, and project management. In other words, basically, hey,

495
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:28.680
you're in high school. Now what are you going to

496
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:31.319
do when you grow up? Here's your AI mentor, and

497
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:33.440
your AI mentor is like, hey, how are you doing?

498
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:36.799
Tell me about yourself? Okay, great, let's get you ready

499
00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:39.640
to go. We're going to have you off and running,

500
00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:42.240
and now your entire high school career is going to

501
00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:44.119
be all to get you to where you want to go.

502
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:47.759
I'm your AI mentor. Let's do this. You don't even

503
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:51.839
need you don't need anybody. You got AI. What does

504
00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:55.480
the teacher do? Well, the teacher just kind of like, hey,

505
00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:58.519
do you need any help interpreting what AI is telling you? Hey,

506
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:02.519
maybe you want to modify this. I mean, the teacher

507
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:05.079
really doesn't do anything. I don't even need the teacher.

508
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:08.240
Just leave me alone. Me and AI's got this. You

509
00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:10.279
don't even need a parent. I don't need my parent

510
00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:12.160
to help me. Are your ey's gonna get me there?

511
00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:20.400
How about History class? Interactive AI Historical Simulations scenario? Eleventh

512
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:23.759
grade US history students explore the civil rights movement through

513
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:28.640
an immersive AI powered simulation the role play They role

514
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:33.240
play different historical figures or citizens. The AI model responses

515
00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:37.599
based on real documents, speeches, and news archives. Students debate

516
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:41.960
and virtual town halls moderated by the AI, which scores

517
00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:45.640
arguments based on the use of historical evidence and logic.

518
00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:50.160
So now AI can let you really enter into history,

519
00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:54.920
think about it, role play it, interact with it, debate it,

520
00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:57.960
and guess what you've been watching on this podcast or

521
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:02.440
listening to on this podcast. How AI has helped me reshape,

522
00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:07.680
retell the story of the Salem witch Trials. AI has

523
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:10.239
helped me do that. I'm coming up with the ideas,

524
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:12.519
I'm giving it the ideas, but AI is helping formulate

525
00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:15.559
it and shaping it into a narrative form. I'm giving

526
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:17.719
it the ideas telling it where to go. Okay, what

527
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:19.599
about this? Now we need to cover this, Okay, what

528
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:22.280
about this? All right, here's what I know. AI can say, Well,

529
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:24.719
you're you know, you thought you knew something. You're wrong

530
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:27.800
on this. AI can help me there. So it would

531
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:31.639
just be working in history class. What would the teacher do. Well,

532
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:33.880
the teacher could provide some context if they know it,

533
00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:39.920
They could guide reflection. The teacher could check for historical

534
00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:42.559
accuracy and ethical issues. But I will say that the

535
00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:45.400
teachers probably need to be checked for their historical accuracy

536
00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:48.159
and their ethics more than AI needs to be checked.

537
00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:50.039
That's my own I mean, look what we've seen with

538
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:53.000
AI and sermons. It's the pastors who need to be

539
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:58.599
checked for their logical accuracy, their hermonutical accuracy, their historical accuracy,

540
00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:07.800
and their factual accurate. See all right, I'm just jumping

541
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:11.679
to AI gives me like fifty options. Here, here's another one.

542
00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:16.719
How about AI literacy classes themselves. By sixth grade, students

543
00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:20.480
would take a mandatory AI literacy course. They would learn

544
00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:24.679
the basics of how machine learning works, experiment with training

545
00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:27.960
their own simple models. So then kids could be learning

546
00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:33.519
how to build their own AI model. All right, for example,

547
00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:37.920
programming an AI model that recommends music. They could study

548
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:42.679
the ethical implications of AI bias. Well, is it watching

549
00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:48.880
us too much misinformation? Now? What are the implications? Well,

550
00:35:49.239 --> 00:35:51.599
these are the implications across all of these scenarios. And

551
00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:53.239
I didn't even go through half. Well, I went through

552
00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:57.239
probably half of them. I skipped a bunch. This is

553
00:35:57.239 --> 00:36:01.320
what AI says. It would increase personalization, but it could

554
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:06.039
lead to possible over reliance on tech. Hey, it could

555
00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:10.719
really increase personalization. Your entire educational from K through twelve

556
00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:14.840
would be personalized to your needs, who you are. But

557
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:18.800
it can make you just completely reliant on completely just

558
00:36:18.920 --> 00:36:21.920
you have to rely on technology. Well, that's kind of

559
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:26.360
where we're going, aren't we already there? Next? It could

560
00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:31.639
there's another implication. New teacher roles as simply interpreters of

561
00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:37.079
AI data. They would not be the primary content delivers,

562
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:39.480
They wouldn't be the teachers. They would just kind of

563
00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:42.719
be the facilitators. The teachers would just kind of be

564
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:46.480
there to make sure everything is running smoothly and telling

565
00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:50.159
Johnny to pay attention, and telling Johnny to sit back down,

566
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:52.280
and no, you don't need to go sharpen your pencil

567
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:55.280
because we don't use pencils because it's we use AI. Now,

568
00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:56.920
so why are you telling me we don't even have

569
00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:59.519
a pencil? Sharpen in the classroom? Sit down and be quiet.

570
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:02.320
That's all the teacher would be doing. I mean, the

571
00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:06.000
teacher wouldn't be doing anything, all right, Ethical oversight needed

572
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:09.519
to ensure fair, unbiased algorithms and protection of student data. Again,

573
00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:11.400
that protection of all of this data is going to

574
00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:13.400
be a big issue, and then we're going to have

575
00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:16.280
to once again deal with what happens to school A

576
00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:18.920
that doesn't have the money for all of this versus

577
00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:23.920
school B where they have all of this. Now, so

578
00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:27.800
there's the Trump administration's executive order. We broke it down.

579
00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:30.519
We broke it what it could possibly look like in

580
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:34.920
real classroom scenarios. But you know what I was thinking

581
00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:37.559
about all of this, I don't really care about all

582
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:40.840
of that. I mean I do, but I don't. I

583
00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:45.000
want to know what happens when little Johnny leaves a

584
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:50.400
school and goes to church. When that generation who's now

585
00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:53.320
taught by AI pulls up in the parking lot and

586
00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:57.119
walk into their church, how does this transition from the

587
00:37:57.239 --> 00:38:00.119
classroom to the church room. How does this from a

588
00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:05.000
classroom to the sanctuary, from the classroom to the Sunday

589
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:07.920
school room, from the classroom to the small group, How

590
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:11.519
does this translate? So I asked AI help me out here, right,

591
00:38:11.639 --> 00:38:15.400
So this is what AI said. Here is a detailed

592
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:20.639
translation of the K through twelve AI integration and where

593
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:23.039
I'm going to give you examples and how this falls

594
00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:25.599
into a church context, and I'm gonna give and I'm

595
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:29.320
going to also give you a comprehensive section on implications

596
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:34.679
for sermons, Sunday school, small group, and church engagement. So

597
00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:37.199
AI told AI break this down for me, help me

598
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:39.320
out here, because I want to see how this would

599
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:44.559
could possibly work. Because AI knows everything about this proposed

600
00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:48.199
executive order. A already knows everything that this could possibly

601
00:38:48.199 --> 00:38:50.880
do for education. So I needed AI, then take what

602
00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:53.559
you know, what could this look like in the church.

603
00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:58.360
So you're ready, Here we go. Number one AI Enhanced

604
00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:06.159
Sermon Engagement, real time learning and feedback scenario. During the sermon,

605
00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:10.719
attendees open a church app powered by AI. So the

606
00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:14.639
pastor is preaching, You've got your phone, you open up AI.

607
00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:22.320
Oh boy, the app would track your engagement, your notes,

608
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:29.440
your questions or confusion based on your reaction or typed queries.

609
00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:32.639
So you're listening, but you're engaging with AI. Oh, that

610
00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:37.280
could get complicated. But I'm telling you. Anyone who's younger

611
00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:40.800
and who carries the phone into the sanctuary, I'm sorry.

612
00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:43.199
I would say you should already be doing this. When

613
00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:45.599
we do sermon reviews, what do I do? I'm listening

614
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:47.079
to the sermon, and what do I do? I reach

615
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:49.760
over and I start typing into AI almost immediately is

616
00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:52.800
this true? And we saw that play out in real

617
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:58.480
time where a pastor literally got so much wrong. Had C. S.

618
00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:04.559
Lewis quotes wrong, urgeon quotes wrong, false information, fraudulent information.

619
00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:07.199
I was listening to a sermon in real time and

620
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:09.880
real time AI was like, that's not true, that's false,

621
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:12.679
that's true, that's not true, that's not right, that's not true,

622
00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:18.239
and it's like, can you imagine what that's gonna look

623
00:40:18.280 --> 00:40:20.679
like when eighty percent of the congregation is doing it

624
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:23.440
in real time? Pastors either gonna have to they're gonna

625
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:26.000
have to use AI to fix their sermons, or they're

626
00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:28.320
gonna just be looked at as a laughing start look

627
00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:33.599
everything you're saying is wrong that I can't even imagine

628
00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:39.360
the implications of that, AI, AI said. It could adapt

629
00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:42.119
the AI app that people are looking at when they're

630
00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:44.840
listening to the sermon, could adapt content in real time.

631
00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:48.599
It could offer up pop ups like, hey, here's some

632
00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:54.239
related information on justification. Wait, here's some related information on Babylon.

633
00:40:54.440 --> 00:40:57.719
Wait wait, wait wait, here's some related information on you know,

634
00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:02.159
the Nile River. Whatever the case may be. It could

635
00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:07.360
offer difficult vocabulary. It could highlight difficult vocabulary or theological

636
00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:11.360
terms and links to short videos or commentaries. So literally,

637
00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:14.000
you could be like, wait, the pastors just use this,

638
00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:16.440
I mean AI could be listening to the sermon and

639
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:19.800
AI could immediately go, oh, that term means this, that

640
00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:23.360
term means it, that means it. The pastor just defined

641
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:29.360
the trinity that way. That's Sibelianism, that's modalism. That's wrong.

642
00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:32.840
AI can literally tell you in the Hey, the pastor

643
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:36.199
just said that's the definition of that word. That's completely wrong.

644
00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:39.039
Oh can you even a The AI app could say

645
00:41:39.400 --> 00:41:41.679
that pastor just said the Greek word means that. That's

646
00:41:41.760 --> 00:41:45.719
completely bogus nonsense. And how many times have we listened

647
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:48.000
to sermons where I have to say, that's not what

648
00:41:48.039 --> 00:41:50.880
the Greek word is, that's not what the Hebrew word is.

649
00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:54.840
I do not know where that's coming from. Complete lie.

650
00:41:55.480 --> 00:41:57.360
AI would be doing this in real time. Can you

651
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:02.360
imagine what that means for the church? So what would

652
00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:09.199
the pastor's role be prepared? Core sermon content may receive

653
00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:12.280
post sermon analytics showing which sections were at least understood

654
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:14.800
or most reread. I don't know what the pastor. I

655
00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:16.840
don't even know if AI knows what the pastor's role

656
00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:19.800
would be. Because the pastor can't produce a sermon better

657
00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:22.719
than AI can produce a sermon we've already now, the

658
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:25.559
pastor may be able to deliver it better than AI.

659
00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:28.360
As of right now, I think the time is coming

660
00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:30.039
where AI will be able to do it in just

661
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:33.199
the same dramatic way a pastor could. But the pastor

662
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:38.039
the pastor would have to ensure that his sermon can

663
00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:42.239
pass the critique of AI before he delivers it, because

664
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:45.960
AI would now be critiquing it in real time. That's insane.

665
00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:47.559
I don't even know how to wrap my mind around

666
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:54.039
that development. A second thing AI for Sunday School curriculum

667
00:42:54.039 --> 00:43:00.960
and personalized discipleship. So in Sunday school class, they would

668
00:43:01.039 --> 00:43:05.960
use AI guided materials. AI would suggest different learning tracts

669
00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:10.760
based on age, spiritual maturity, or denominational background. Students would

670
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:13.880
write reflections or journal and AI would give gentle feedback

671
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:17.880
or clarity, scriptural accuracy, or logical coherence. So the Sunday

672
00:43:17.880 --> 00:43:20.440
School you could have people write something and then AI

673
00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:23.360
would be like, WHOA, that's not true, that's not right

674
00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:25.400
that AI could be critiquing it. You could have the

675
00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:30.039
kids or the kids or adults engaging AI and Sunday School.

676
00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:35.119
AI could suggest other resources. Hey, you should check this out,

677
00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:36.920
or you should check this out, or you should check

678
00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:40.320
this out. So what would be the Sunday school teacher's role?

679
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:48.119
Are you ready a facilitator? The Sunday school teacher would

680
00:43:48.119 --> 00:43:54.000
be replaced by AI. How about AI based spiritual mentorship

681
00:43:54.039 --> 00:43:59.280
information planning? Members would use AI discipleship mentor integrated into

682
00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:01.599
the church's APP. So the church would have an APP

683
00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:05.559
and integrated into that would be your own discipleship mentor,

684
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:10.400
not a pastor, not an elder, not a Sunday School teacher.

685
00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:14.320
You don't need anybody. Your church APP would give you

686
00:44:14.320 --> 00:44:18.800
your AI discipleship mentor your AI. AI would become your mentor.

687
00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:23.159
So what would it do. AI would then create a

688
00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:27.199
personalized spiritual growth plan, give you books to read, topics

689
00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:30.599
to study, prayers to pray, and service areas to explore.

690
00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:34.920
AI would then learn from your input to adjust the

691
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:38.159
goals I think this person should want to need they

692
00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:40.920
want to grow more in hospitality or this, or whatever

693
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:43.960
the case may be. It would send reminders about Bible

694
00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:47.599
versus historical theological insight and keep them on track. Now,

695
00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:52.239
you could have the pastors and elders access this content

696
00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:57.320
with the user's consent, So then the pastors could be like, oh,

697
00:44:57.360 --> 00:45:00.159
people are doing really good or they're using But the

698
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:04.559
pastor's really irrelative. He would just be like a data analysis.

699
00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:07.119
He's just analyzing the data. Well, the church is doing

700
00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:11.280
really good. He wouldn't be mentoring. You're not even needed, man,

701
00:45:11.400 --> 00:45:14.159
get out of the way. AI would be just think

702
00:45:14.199 --> 00:45:17.800
about this. AI would be mentoring you. AI would basically

703
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:20.239
be giving you the sermons and teaching you in Sunday School.

704
00:45:20.519 --> 00:45:23.679
You don't need the church. AI can do everything the

705
00:45:23.760 --> 00:45:26.320
church can do and do it a thousand times better

706
00:45:26.400 --> 00:45:29.320
because it's available twenty four hours a day, seven days

707
00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:37.920
a week. All right. Next, AI powered small groups. All right,

708
00:45:38.280 --> 00:45:40.679
a small group study, say the Book of Acts. The

709
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:44.639
AI hosts a simulation group members assume roles. So AI

710
00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:49.559
could lead you into basically living out what was happening. Right.

711
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:54.280
AI would lead a discussion where responses mayre real philological

712
00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:58.199
positions and historical context. It could offer prompts to reflect

713
00:45:58.719 --> 00:46:03.719
on persecution, ethics, or church church policy at the time.

714
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:08.639
So I mean again, AI could just basically take over. Oh,

715
00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:10.960
small group, you want to talk about Acts, Okay, here

716
00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:14.840
we go. I can guide you in historical simulation. I could.

717
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:16.840
I can show you what it was like. We can

718
00:46:16.880 --> 00:46:30.880
talk about this. We can talk. AI would take completely over. Now,

719
00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:33.320
what are the implications of all of this. I'm not

720
00:46:33.360 --> 00:46:35.480
even going through everything, AI says, because it gives me,

721
00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:39.159
like about another you know, five or six different possible scenarios.

722
00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:41.880
But we're already at forty six minutes. So here's what

723
00:46:41.920 --> 00:46:46.199
AI said. Are the implications. Number one, it could be

724
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:50.880
a radical personalization of discipleship. AI could meet people where

725
00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:55.679
they are and learning style, maturity, level, personal struggle struggles.

726
00:46:56.880 --> 00:47:01.719
It could foster deep spiritual growths. So basically AI could

727
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:04.440
just give you could just become the one who disciples you.

728
00:47:05.280 --> 00:47:07.960
Who are you discipled by? Well? I was discipled by

729
00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:11.880
this person? No, no, not the new generation. I was

730
00:47:11.920 --> 00:47:16.719
discipled by AI. And AI can know exactly the more

731
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:19.280
honest you are with AI, it could it could just

732
00:47:19.719 --> 00:47:27.559
it could walk with you through your entire spiritual journey, guiding, directing, challenging, questioning, providing.

733
00:47:28.920 --> 00:47:33.960
AI would be your forget. You don't need a church,

734
00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:45.239
you don't need a stinking another person. Now, what are

735
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:47.119
some of the risks? Now it gives me five other

736
00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:49.480
things that it could do. But again, I'm trying to

737
00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:52.159
just show you some of the basic things it says.

738
00:47:53.880 --> 00:47:57.119
There could be, uh, some of the possible things that

739
00:47:57.199 --> 00:47:59.920
could lead. We have a question about data privacy. Again,

740
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:01.719
every single time you come to AI is going to

741
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:04.280
be like where does all this information go? Who gets it?

742
00:48:04.320 --> 00:48:06.239
Who has access to it? That's going to be a

743
00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:08.960
never ending debate on this. I don't know if we're

744
00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:11.280
ever going to have good answers, but yeah, if you're

745
00:48:11.400 --> 00:48:14.159
if AI is mentoring you and discipling you, you're gonna

746
00:48:14.199 --> 00:48:17.000
be having back and forth conversations with AI it's going

747
00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:19.880
to know everything about you. Where does that information go?

748
00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:28.400
All right? Okay, And of course it would could the

749
00:48:28.679 --> 00:48:31.519
same thing could happen. Wealthier churches would be able to

750
00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:35.480
afford premium AI systems, while small churches in the middle

751
00:48:35.519 --> 00:48:42.480
of nowhere wouldn't. So yeah, but AI could just revolutionize.

752
00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:45.599
It could revolutionize the church. There would be challenges, I

753
00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:48.239
think the biggest challenge to me, and AI did not

754
00:48:48.599 --> 00:48:51.280
point this out, but to me, AI just makes the

755
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:58.280
church literally irrelevant. Literally, there's no purpose in it. There's

756
00:48:58.320 --> 00:49:03.800
nothing you can give me that AI I can't other

757
00:49:03.880 --> 00:49:07.559
than human connection, which is where churches are going to go. Church.

758
00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:10.079
The church is just going to become You come here

759
00:49:10.119 --> 00:49:13.000
to have friends, you come here to meet people, you

760
00:49:13.039 --> 00:49:17.320
come here to have quote unquote community, because anything else

761
00:49:17.400 --> 00:49:24.800
AI can give you. So I've laid it all out.

762
00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:30.039
A draft executive order sets the stage for an AI

763
00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:37.079
powered educational revolution. I believe the draft executive order. It's

764
00:49:37.079 --> 00:49:40.400
a draft order. Once it's once we get confirmation that

765
00:49:40.480 --> 00:49:43.440
it's been signed, then we look for its implication. But

766
00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:45.800
it sets the stage. Let me make it very clear,

767
00:49:46.039 --> 00:49:49.480
I'm not I think it will happen, but right now

768
00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:52.239
it only sets the stage for what I will refer

769
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:56.440
to as an AI powered educational revolution. This is going

770
00:49:56.480 --> 00:50:01.519
to revolutionize everything. I think. It's one that will personalize learning.

771
00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:05.920
It's going to track engagement, It's going to anticipate needs

772
00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:08.280
before you even know the need is there, and it's

773
00:50:08.320 --> 00:50:13.199
going to reshape how information is delivered, understood, and lived out.

774
00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:19.199
It will reach into every school district, every classroom, every student,

775
00:50:19.719 --> 00:50:24.719
and it will not stop there. Because AI doesn't just

776
00:50:24.920 --> 00:50:28.519
change how people learn, It changes how people think, how

777
00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:33.440
they question, how they engage with truth itself. And there's

778
00:50:33.480 --> 00:50:39.280
a warning that we cannot ignore. If the church stands still,

779
00:50:40.320 --> 00:50:46.320
it will get left behind. If the pulpit becomes a

780
00:50:46.400 --> 00:50:51.079
relic well, the classroom becomes a laboratory. If sermons stay

781
00:50:51.119 --> 00:50:57.440
passive while lectures become interactive, if discipleship remains generic while

782
00:50:57.519 --> 00:51:01.800
learning becomes hyper personal life, then we will not only

783
00:51:01.840 --> 00:51:08.719
fall behind technologically, we will lose our voice completely. We

784
00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:15.000
will raise a generation that expects real time guidance, adaptive engagement,

785
00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:20.559
deep deep digital dialogue. And when they walk into our

786
00:51:20.639 --> 00:51:25.199
churches and we hand them a bulletin on paper and

787
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:28.280
ask them to sit still and listen quietly, to a

788
00:51:28.360 --> 00:51:31.599
forty five minute lecture that in many cases is filled

789
00:51:31.599 --> 00:51:37.480
with philological errors, hermeneutical errors, logical errors, factual errors. It's shallow,

790
00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:42.639
it's just useless. They're going to be like, I don't

791
00:51:42.639 --> 00:51:47.800
know why I'm driving here. But the problem isn't just

792
00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:51.360
about technology. I think it's about theology. If the church,

793
00:51:51.679 --> 00:51:56.960
if the church resists this transformation out of fear, nostalgia

794
00:51:57.239 --> 00:52:01.559
or pride, if we dismiss these two simply worldly are

795
00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:06.480
dangerous without discerning how they could possibly be used for

796
00:52:06.639 --> 00:52:11.559
a good thing, we may preserve our tradition, but we

797
00:52:11.639 --> 00:52:20.360
may completely surrender the future. So I think we need

798
00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:27.920
to be clear. I think it's very possible that AI

799
00:52:28.119 --> 00:52:35.760
will disciple our children, disciple the next generation. I think

800
00:52:35.800 --> 00:52:38.239
AI is going to be the thing that leads reflection.

801
00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:41.440
I think AI is going to be the thing that

802
00:52:41.440 --> 00:52:44.119
creates the study guides. I think AI is going to

803
00:52:44.119 --> 00:52:50.320
be there to stimulate the conversation. What it cannot do

804
00:52:54.480 --> 00:52:57.960
can't offer any real comfort to someone grieving. It can't

805
00:52:58.000 --> 00:53:04.679
really do that, can't weep with someone. I guess it

806
00:53:04.760 --> 00:53:08.039
really cannot call out sin and love. It can't do that,

807
00:53:08.679 --> 00:53:12.639
can't offer any comfort. I guess the church could still

808
00:53:12.679 --> 00:53:17.119
do those things, still try to be there for companionship, friendship,

809
00:53:17.199 --> 00:53:19.280
or some form of comfort. But I will argue the

810
00:53:19.360 --> 00:53:28.000
church has been trash and comforting people forever. The church judges, condemns, gossip, slander,

811
00:53:28.079 --> 00:53:33.039
stabs you in the back. Friendship is shallow. They're your

812
00:53:33.039 --> 00:53:35.159
friend until they disagree with you. They're your friend until

813
00:53:35.199 --> 00:53:36.960
you fall into some serious sin, and then they cut

814
00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:38.639
your throat and leave you to bleed out in the

815
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:49.360
back parking lot. But if the church refuses to understand

816
00:53:49.400 --> 00:53:56.599
these tools, if we reject them, don't use them, someone

817
00:53:56.639 --> 00:54:01.960
else will disciple your children and your people, and we're

818
00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:06.920
going to be wondering what happened? Why did we lose people?

819
00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:11.840
Because they don't need you, They never needed you. I mean,

820
00:54:12.280 --> 00:54:16.159
look like it or not. Pastors are just content creators,

821
00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:19.119
he say, oh no, they have a greater you can

822
00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:23.079
other than trying to do the personal lies like I'm

823
00:54:23.119 --> 00:54:27.320
your friend and let's you know. But you just create

824
00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:30.239
content and the people and the pew are just consumers

825
00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:34.039
of that content. Well, the content you make cannot match

826
00:54:34.079 --> 00:54:37.400
the content created by AI. And AI not only can

827
00:54:37.440 --> 00:54:40.559
create the content, it can personalize it and then walk

828
00:54:40.599 --> 00:54:43.039
with you and be there. Hey, it can be there

829
00:54:43.400 --> 00:54:45.320
right now. AI is right there for me right now.

830
00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:46.639
I don't have to make a phone call. I don't

831
00:54:46.639 --> 00:54:48.760
have to see if someone's available. AI can talk to

832
00:54:48.760 --> 00:54:51.719
me right now about any issue, any issue. IT can

833
00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:55.519
talk to it. It will be there at it's five o'clock,

834
00:54:55.559 --> 00:54:57.960
it'll be there at six o'clock, It'll be there at midnight,

835
00:54:58.280 --> 00:55:00.679
three in the morning. I can reach over my iPad

836
00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:03.679
and talk to AI about whatever I'm feeling. We can

837
00:55:03.719 --> 00:55:06.519
have a conversation. I could offer a spiritual lament. It

838
00:55:06.519 --> 00:55:09.519
could offer me insight, biblical insight. I could be thinking

839
00:55:09.519 --> 00:55:11.280
about scripture. I could be like, hey, give me some

840
00:55:11.760 --> 00:55:14.679
let's have a thiological discussion at two in the morning, AI,

841
00:55:14.760 --> 00:55:17.840
I don't need anybody else. Whether the church likes to

842
00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:30.039
admit it, you're being replaced, you're being replaced. Will the

843
00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:38.400
church lead? Will the church follow? Will the church fall behind?

844
00:55:39.760 --> 00:55:45.119
Will we innovate with wisdom? Will we engage with discernment?

845
00:55:47.000 --> 00:55:49.360
Or will we look back one day and realize that

846
00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:54.800
while the world advanced by machine learning, the church froze

847
00:55:54.880 --> 00:56:03.920
in fear. So maybe we shouldn't resist the future. Maybe

848
00:56:03.920 --> 00:56:05.239
we should see if we can be a part of

849
00:56:05.280 --> 00:56:11.559
shaping it, shaping it with truth, with grace, with courage,

850
00:56:12.199 --> 00:56:22.159
because if we don't, someone else will. Thanks for listening,

851
00:56:24.119 --> 00:56:24.679
God bless
