The companion to the AI Policy Generator

Your Church's AI Policy

The twelve questions, explained

By Heidi A. Campbell

Heidi studied fifteen AI policies written by congregations and denominations across the United States and Europe, and helped the Episcopal Diocese of Texas write its own. This handbook brings what she learned to your leaders: what to understand about AI before you write anything, seven guiding principles, and the ten categories of a complete AI policy that the free generator is built around. Use it beside the generator, or on its own with your staff and board.

[Format and length, for example: PDF and EPUB, about 120 pages]

What's inside

Five chapters and three appendices, from the basics of how AI works to a policy template you can adapt. Chapter 5's ten policy categories line up with the generator's questions.

    [A passage of 100 to 200 words from the handbook that shows how Heidi writes and thinks.]

    The generator's 12 questions, and where the handbook explains each one

    These are the twelve questions in the free AI Policy Generator, not chapters of the book. Each question has a "Why this matters" note quoted from the handbook. The line under each question shows the chapter and section that note comes from, so you can read the full discussion.
