Wisdom Talks: Guiding Our Children in an AI World
What on God’s green earth does AI mean for our children? Do we need to parent differently? How will it affect their education? Join us as we explore these big questions surrounding artificial intelligence and its growing impact on the lives of our children.
A diverse panel including educators, pastors, parents, and more, will share their insight and perspective through a Christian worldview. As AI increasingly influences how we live, learn, and connect, let’s come together to stay informed and be prepared to guide the next generation.
The event is FREE, but please let us know you plan to attend by RSVP’ing below.
