SA Christians in SW Networking Group 27 Jun 25

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming various aspects of society, including social work. For Christian social workers, AI presents both opportunities and ethical considerations.

Heather McMillian will facilitate a talk that will introduce some of the AI tools, explore how AI can assist in decision-making, streamline administrative tasks, and enhance client support.

The talk will also include discussion on ethical concerns—such as privacy, bias, and the dignity of individuals—and how to ensure that AI aligns with our Christian values.

We'll discuss practical applications, access some AI sites, discuss case examples as well as the importance of maintaining compassion in an AI-driven world.
