In this second part of a powerful two-part interview, Covenant Eyes' Karen Potter sits down with Doug Smith, author of "Unintentional," to discuss artificial intelligence and its impact on ministry and the family. Doug unpacks the sinister design behind AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini and how they are creating a "race to intimacy". He discusses the heartbreaking reality of AI-generated pornography, deepfakes, and sextortion, and how AI is being used to prey on children.

Doug also warns ministry leaders about the dangers of using AI as a tool and the risk of becoming less discerning as a result. He explains the spiritual battle at play and the ways AI can become a modern-day idol.

This episode serves as an urgent call to action to protect your family and be intentional in the face of rapidly changing technology.
