New #StateoftheChurch research from Barna (@BarnaGroup) and Gloo highlights a major perspective gap between church leaders and congregants.
When someone is in crisis, who should be on the other end? New #StateoftheChurch research from Barna (@BarnaGroup) and Gloo reveals that while 94% of pastors believe AI should immediately connect users at risk of self-harm to a human, only 63% of practicing Christians agree.
Technology is a neutral instrument. What it becomes depends on the people who shape it.
That conviction is at the heart of Gloo. We shape technology as a force for good, serving those who serve, so people flourish and communities thrive.
