Generative AI in Adventist Education:
Opportunities and Ethical Considerations
As educators, we understand that generative AI has the potential to transform the world into which our students are emerging. Therefore, we must understand its impact and benefits.

Discipling the Whole Student
The concept of discipleship is often misunderstood solely as something Christians do. We study the Scripture, get baptized, and tell others about Jesus.

Growing Professionally in Christ
Educators often view professional development as attaining outstanding credentials, advanced academic degrees, and excellent research. However, while academic achievement and training are essential, so is attention to our spiritual growth.
