Institute Course | Hopeful Intelligence Workshop

How do spiritual realities shape our understanding of generative artificial intelligence (AI), and what new possibilities of “hopeful intelligence” arise when we explore this intersection? In this dynamic, interactive evening workshop, David Kim will guide participants through a transformative exploration of how spiritual wisdom can inform the way we design, understand, and collaborate with AI systems.  Specifically, we’ll be focusing on how AI can be a companion for expanding our imagination around future scenarios.

David was invited in 2021 to join the Advisory Board of AI and Faith where he contributes essays, and has contributed a chapter in Faithful AI. David consults organizations to thoughtfully engage with this emerging technology with a hopeful theistic frame.

This transformative offering will present a Hopeful Intelligence framework, exploring how artificial intelligence can transcend efficiency and profit-driven assumptions to become an unprecedented tool for hope, imagination, and human flourishing. Grounded in spiritual wisdom and informed by thinkers like Bob Johansen, Charles Taylor and Otto Scharmer, participants will engage in reflective practices, collaborative exercises, and visionary discussions to reimagine AI’s potential in addressing the world’s deepest pain points with justice, creativity, and grace. Through this journey, participants will learn to align AI with a future marked by compassion, equity, and divine purpose. We will consider both the theological and practical implications of these questions as we explore this new frontier.

Register now to explore how spiritual realities can inform and transform our approach to one of the most influential technologies of our time.

Cost: Choose your Tier – A Pricing Model Rooted in Generosity & Relationship

At Goldenwood, we believe in a gift economy—where our work and giving is not transactional but part of a relational and generative system. Like a root network, where some trees bear more fruit in one season and others in another, this pricing approach allows for a shared ecosystem of flourishing—some contribute more so that others may receive, and all are sustained together.

Our tiered pricing model reflects this, allowing participants to contribute at a level that aligns with their capacity while supporting the mission to see work revived by love. We invite you to participate in a way that reflects your own season and capacity.
