Preaching and Generative AI: A Perspective from Early 2024
-
Ian Hussey
Abstract
With growing use of generative AI in sermon preparation this article develops the conversation regarding its usage. It begins by discussing some of the ethical issues related to generative AI in preaching. It then suggests that the missiological practice of contextualization also serves as a theological framework for preaching which generates a hermeneutic to locate the ethical and skillful use of AI within the sermon preparation process. It then moves to explore some skills in utilizing generative AI that can be used in sermon preparation in a way that is consistent with this framework.
Zusammenfassung
Dieser Beitrag diskutiert den zunehmenden Einsatz von generativer KI in der Predigtvorbereitung. Zunächst werden ethische Fragen im Zusammenhang mit generativer KI und Predigt besprochen. Es wird vorgeschlagen, dass die missiologische Praxis der Kontextualisierung als theologischer Rahmen für die Predigtaufgabe dient. Dies führt zu einer Hermeneutik, die den ethischen und kompetenten Einsatz von KI im Prozess der Predigtvorbereitung verortet. Anschließend werden einige Fähigkeiten in der Nutzung generativer KI untersucht, die in der Predigtvorbereitung in einer Weise eingesetzt werden können, die mit diesem Rahmen vereinbar ist.
