The Round-Up (#2)

AI Speech Recovery, Robot Pilots, and possible Reskilling

Hi, everyone! Welcome to the Round-Up, a new fortnightly post where I’ll send you the best of what I’ve been reading and hopefully save you a bunch of time in the process.

Major thought for the week: At our church, we’ve just begun a short series exploring the book of Proverbs. A few really stood out while reflecting on the subject of artificial intelligence and the church:

Proverbs 2:6:
“For the LORD gives wisdom;
From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”

Proverbs 17:24:
"Wisdom is the focus of the perceptive,
but a fool’s eyes roam to the end of the earth.”

As we seek wisdom on this subject, remember that God is the one who gives us wisdom even as we rightly strive for it with focused determination. Let’s pray for an abundance of God-given wisdom as we navigate these interesting seasons!
