Christian group touts 'ethical' tech features as concerns over out-of-control AI tools persist

The mission of the Florida-based organization, founded by the late Christian theologian R.C. Sproul, is to proclaim, teach and defend the holiness of God in all its fullness to as many people as possible. Part of accomplishing that mission was building an app that the organization calls Grow. It's dedicated to helping Christians to better understand the Bible and theology and to go deeper in their faith, put down roots, if you will, Larson said of the new tool. And so this app has 50 years of teaching in it from more than 800 different teachers, of course, grounded in Dr. R.C. Sproul's lifetime of teaching. The app draws from a library of tens of thousands of pieces of content help users in their faith journey looking to obtain answers to critical questions. Inside Grow is an intelligent answer assistant which can answer questions from users from a faith-based perspective. But building an Grow for Christian users required putting a great deal of thought into the ethics of the model, Larson explained.
