This Sunday, Ascension begins a 3 part forum series: Being Human in the Age of AI, led by Clay Williams. Please join us as we explore how AI works, the societal issues it raises, and how people of faith can respond. Clay has a PhD in computer science and an MA in theology. His doctoral work used AI in computational models of the immune system. Could this be any more timely? We continue the discussion on Oct. 25, & Nov 8.
