From Mules to Bulldozers.

Artificial Intelligence, Discernment, and Anabaptist Leadership


Artificial Intelligence is not coming. It is here, quietly running your bank, your phone, and very likely your competitor’s front office. The question was never whether our communities would meet AI. The question is whether we will meet it with understanding or with rumor.

Nathaniel Gingrich writes as a practitioner, not a lecturer. After stepping into senior leadership at half a dozen companies, he watched AI change what one man’s day could hold, starting with his own industry, business software.

In these pages he answers the questions asked in our shops, at our kitchen tables, and from our pulpits: What is this thing? Is it the Antichrist? Can I just ignore it? Will it take our jobs? And how do we as a community draw wise lines around a machine that talks back?

The keys are in it. Let’s learn to drive.

Endorsements

We live in exciting and fast changing times! In the early days of A.I., I was somewhat of a skeptic, so it’s good to be reminded that this is just another tool we can use. Like anything else, it’s good to be aware and informed of any potential pitfalls.

I guess it’s time to put the mules out to pasture and climb into the bulldozer!

The world that we live in is changing rapidly, and it is imperative that we understand how that is impacting the Anabaptist community. From Mules to Bulldozers gives important answers to the questions that need to be asked and are being asked.

This book is helpful to both church and business leaders as we navigate this new technology.
