SUMMARY:Interview with Dr. Bob Johansen on His New Book
DESCRIPTION:A conversation with Dr. Bob Johansen about his new book\nDisciplines of Hope: Generating Faith in the Future for an Anxious World.\n\n\n\n\n \nAI and Faith Executive Director Greg Cootsona will interview Bob about this captivating book and how it can help people face an uncertain future with faith rather than dread. \nThe goal in writing the book is to accept the gifts of faith traditions and GenAI\, but to reject the harm. In the increasingly chaotic future\, we will need new disciplines of hope-in-action\, not just passive hope that you have or don’t have. This book draws on global faith traditions\, but it is not a religious book. It shows how to use GenAI as a medium for meaning-making\, but it is not a technology book. This book shows you how to generate your own discipline of hope and grow faith in the future for others. \nThis is Bob’s 16th book\, drawing on his 50-year career as a professional futurist with Institute for the Future. He wrote this book with Andy Doyle\, Bishop of the Texas Diocese of the Episcopal Church\, and Jeremy Kirshbaum\, a poet and GenAI developer from Tribe AI. They have supported AI and Faith since almost the beginning. They will also draw out how the book’s approach connects to AI and Faith’s work at the intersection of the world’s wisdom traditions and AI. We hope that Andy and Jeremy will be able to join Bob for this conversation. \n\n\n \n\n\n\nRegister here \nMeet the Speakers:\n\nGreg Cootsona is the Executive Director for AI and Faith.
