Creation, wisdom and AI

Last week, the College of Bishops of the Church of England met in Oxford. The focus of their meeting was to understand better the rapid development of artificial intelligence that we see all around us and to think, as Christians, how we might respond.

The bishops met with a range of inspiring speakers and experts. Visits in the local area were other opportunities to find out more. Bishop Michael was fortunate to spend one afternoon with the ‘Remote Applications in Challenging Environments’ group based UK Atomic Energy Centre in Culham near Oxford.

This week, Bishop Michael is visiting the benefice of Combe Down, South Stoke and Monkton Combe (pictured with the Revd Chris Absolon). On Sunday morning he preached at South Stoke and Combe down, drawing on some of the learning he gained at the Oxford meeting.
