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.

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.

Is the program suitable for someone with no knowledge of AI?

Yes, we will be able to help people who have never even looked at AI to get started. You will only need a basic knowledge of how to open a website and the ability to login to an AI app (which is free).

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.

What hardware do I need? Are there any expenses or costs involved?

We will be sharing lots of helpful information using free AI tools that you can access on a simple smartphone or a computer. So you can participate without spending any money. We will also be sharing ideas for tools that do cost money. Though it is entirely optional if you want to learn about these.

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.

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.

At the moment we are not able to promise any translation, though will do our best to make things accessible in other languages. If you are able to help translate, please let us know.

I am not fluent in English. Will this be a problem in Zoom meetings?
