Could the Church face a âsilver uprisingâ? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Churches are being urged to take seriously the contributions of older members - or run the risk of facing a âsilver uprisingâ of discontent from seniors in their congregations. The warning comes as the United Nations marks Thursday October 1 as the International Day of Older Persons, dedicated to recognising the role of older people across the world. In the UK, the US and other western countries, populations are ageing, with many more people reaching retirement age and beyond. Now Chris Spi
What can we learn from the US pastor who created an AI version of himself? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A Californian pastor has created an artificial intelligence version of himself to help his flock. Pastor Justin Lester of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, Vallejo, has devised âan AI digital doppelgangerâ to minister to his congregation when he cannot.

Itâs an area with challenges and joys just like every other local community â and itâs much more than an arena for a political showdown. And churches often know their areas bette
Why AI is far from divine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I wrote an email to my local councillor and within three minutes received back a detailed reply summarising my concerns and promising action - a stunningly quick response. I was impressed, and grateful for the speedy reaction. But then a thought came to me. Had this helpful, swift, reply perhaps been written, not by my councillor, but by Artificial Intelligence (AI)?  If my elected representative was making the best use of time by applying AI then surely that was a good thing? Or was it? Frien
