AI, Ethics, and the Future of Spiritual Care with Rev. Sheri Winesett Campbell and Rev. Justin Martin

AI is already changing healthcare, but what does that mean for a profession built around human presence? Alice Tremaine and John Betz are joined by Rev. Sheri Winesett Campbell and Rev. Justin Martin, board-certified chaplains, members of the Association of Professional Chaplains Board of Directors, and co-chairs of the APC Ethos Task Force. Together, they explore the growing role of artificial intelligence in spiritual care and the ethical questions chaplains need to be asking now. From documentation and administrative support to direct patient care, privacy, bias, and the possibility of AI becoming a substitute for human connection, the conversation examines where technology can support chaplaincy and where boundaries may be necessary. Sheri and Justin also share the work behind Ethos, which stands for Ethical Technology for Human-Oriented Spiritual Care, and APC's efforts to develop practical ethical guidance that can evolve alongside rapidly changing technology. At the heart of the conversation is a bigger question: How can chaplains embrace useful technology without losing the deeply human presence that defines spiritual care? Connect with Rev.
