AI and Faith brings the wisdom of the world’s great religions to the discussion around the moral and ethical challenges of artificial intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has transformed the way humans interact with each other in both promising and troubling ways. Emerging issues around control and power, privacy, bias and discrimination, economic well-being, and even our understanding of what it means to be human are all inherent to the ways that AI is created and used in society.

Our mission is to equip and encourage people of faith to bring time-tested, faith-based values and wisdom to the ethical AI conversation.

The world’s great religions offer ancient wisdom that can help us navigate those changes.

Each of these issues is, at its root, deeply moral. And for the 85 percent of the world’s population who claim a religious affiliation, these issues are deeply spiritual as well. AI and Faith believes the world’s religions offer ancient wisdom that should guide the development and use of AI technology in contemporary society.

So we bring people together to talk about it.

We encourage, connect and equip tech creators, academic researchers, ethicists, theologians and other related professionals to engage the world in the moral and ethical issues around artificial intelligence and related technologies. We want to shape the discussion in ways that are deeply thoughtful and life-affirming with a focus on:

The worth of every human life and dignity of every individual

Societal justice and meaningful community

Liberty and choice

AI and Faith – 3 minute intro

“At a basic level, the goal of AI and Faith…is to inject a kind of humility and historicity into an industry that has often rejected them both…It is also a deeply humanistic project, an effort to bring different kinds of knowledge — not only faith-based, but also the literary, classical and oral traditions — to bear upon what might very well be the most important technological transformation of our time.”
