Your congregation and staff are using AI tools, and as a leader, you must help them answer the question: Is AI contributing to my human flourishing or detracting from it? Rather than measuring AI on speed or accuracy, Gloo's Flourishing AI approach evaluates AI tools based on their alignment with key dimensions of human flourishing, helping leaders steward the question, “Should we use this tool?” This is one of the ways Gloo is building high tech for a higher purpose.
