The map is not the territory. Still, maps help us navigate complicated realities. As we navigate the complicated new realities of AI, it is helpful to employ maps—mental models and visual frameworks—that can help us make sense of AI. This presentation will introduce various AI maps to help make sense of the impact that AI has on the world, the market, the church, and our own values.
