FAQ Results

Do I need to have a laptop?

No you can use a phone (or a tablet). If you have access to a laptop, it might help with some tasks. Most AI processing that we will talk about is done in the cloud and via web browsers, so internet is important. But the speed of the laptop is not so important.

Can the Academy be extended to parts of the world without computer access?

AI requires a computer to make it work. So at this stage the training is based around people able to access it. However, we already have great examples of resources made with AI that are helping people who don’t have computers or phones.

Can I join Level 2 if I am not chosen for Level 3?

We are not having levels anymore. So everyone will be able to access everything.

Will it be online?

Yes everything is online and shared freely.

How flexible is the schedule?

This AI Academy is not like a school. We are offering wonderful training and resources, but it will be up to you how much you choose to do and use. We are not having levels anymore. So everyone will be able to access everything. You will be free to do as much or as little as you are able.

How can AI be used to enhance ministry? Or how can it be implemented in children’s ministry?

We seek to explain different types of AI tools and then how they might be used, simply as another tool, to help with different tasks. “Ministry” itself, making disciples, following Jesus, is 100% a human-to-human and human-to-God relationship.

AI is simply a tool that helps with certain tasks. AI might enable you to do some things that free up time for humans to do more ministry. Or create resources and tools that might be used in a ministry setting. We see AI in this light and will explain more in the Academy.

The invention of the printing press 575 years ago was an incredible technological innovation of its time. It opened up the ability to share the Bible in many languages and spread education. It also opened the ability to spread evil and dangerous content.

AI has the potential to do great things and will also be used for great evil. The Academy is aiming to help us understand it better so that we wise, more alert and more understanding about how to use it well.

What specific goals or outcomes does the team aim to achieve with the AI Academy?

Our main goal is to help ministry leaders and practitioners of any age or culture to learn more how AI might help them in ministry and serving Jesus. The specific goal is learning together to move everyone beyond where they are now to see and learn new possibilities.

If I miss a Zoom session, will I be able to access it afterwards?

Yes all Zoom calls are recorded and will be shared.

Will there be access to the training materials / videos after the training?

Yes. Once the Academy is over we will make the links available to everyone.
