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.
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.
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:
Bring the fundamental values of the world’s major religions into the emerging debate on the ethical development of Artificial Intelligence and related technologies.
