Don Barger on AI and Missions


In this final episode of the season, AI Alan and Annie are no longer with us. I thought it would be more appropriate to bring in a living and breathing creature.

Dr. Don Barger is my guest. Don is the director of innovation and artificial intelligence with the International Mission Board. He is the co-author (with Grant Lovejoy) of Unreadable: Another Book You Probably Won’t Read.

He shares some of the work of the IMB in this area. We also discuss AI, ChatGPT, Notebook LM and other options available today. You will hear some encouraging stories from the field as well as some cautions.

Can this technology be leveraged for the Kingdom? Should it be used? You are going to enjoy this conversation.

My interview with Don was conducted on Zoom. If you want to see our smiley faces, check out the full video on my YouTube Channel. There you will find other video resources. Don’t forget to subscribe!
