Show Notes

In this insightful podcast episode of Conversation with Ministry Leaders, Julia McCoy shares her expertise on leveraging AI for modern ministry and marketing. She discusses how AI technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate, with computing power doubling every two months.

Surprisingly, McCoy found ministry leaders more receptive and informed about AI than expected. So she reveals her unique insights about preparing for an AI-driven future by focusing on human meaning and purpose. Additionally, she explores fascinating developments in AI-generated video and imagery, including the potential for creating multilingual holographic presentations for global ministry outreach.

Looking ahead, McCoy discusses the rapid advancement toward AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) and autonomous AI agents. Specifically, she points to Microsoft’s recent unveiling of 10 autonomous agents in different industries. Finally, she emphasizes the importance of understanding how to effectively deploy and train AI agents as the nature of work transforms.

Throughout the conversation, McCoy highlights practical applications for ministry leaders, suggesting they match specific AI tools to their goals rather than adopting technology indiscriminately.

This strategic approach, she argues, can lead to significant productivity gains of up to 25 times current levels.
