RaShan Frost is the director of research at ERLC, with the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). According to him, new technology has always been used to spread the gospel.

Now, along comes artificial intelligence. Frost says that time will tell how that will be leveraged, but Southern Baptists want to be at the center of the answer.
“With the emergence of A.I. on a more practical level, we want to be able to speak into specific issues in the life of our Southern Baptists and all Christians in particular,” says Frost.
To that end, the ERLC has produced a new church guide to help the church adapt to life in the age of artificial intelligence.
