Our guest today has been focusing on an intersection you might not have thought about yet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fr. Phil Ganir, SJ<\/strong>, has been spending time recently writing and teaching about AI\u2019s impact on liturgy and sacred music. An assistant professor of religious education at Boston College\u2019s Clough School of Theology and Ministry, Fr. Phil focuses on liturgical theology and music among other subject areas. He\u2019s also one of the very best singers you could ever hear.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/soundcloud%253Atracks%253A2251391717&#038;color=%23ff5500&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;show_teaser=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Host Mike Jordan Laskey was excited to welcome Fr. Phil onto the show to reflect on how artificial intelligence is already affecting the prayer and worship of the church, and how its impact could continue to grow. They also talked about what liturgy and sacred music claim and reveal about the nature of the human person, and how there are some human activities that computers will never be able to replace or take away. It was a fascinating conversation with a fabulous scholar and practitioner who is responding to Pope Leo\u2019s call to wrestle with big questions about technology and humanity facing all of us today.<\/p>\n<p>AMDG is a production of the Jesuit Media Lab, which is a project of the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jesuits.org\/stories\/liturgpt-ai-is-coming-for-worship-with-fr-phil-ganir-sj\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;LiturGPT&#8221;: AI Is Coming for Worship with Fr.
