Internal Event – The AI Entanglement: Religion, Technology, and Humanity

We would like to invite you to AI and Faith’s December Salon on “AI Entanglement: Religion, Technology and Humanity” with Professor Beth Singler. Professor Singler is the Assistant Professor in Digital Religion(s) at the University of Zurich. She was previously Junior Research Fellow in Artificial Intelligence at Homerton College, University of Cambridge, and a post-doctoral researcher of “Human Identity in an age of Nearly Human Machines.” Professor Singler’s work explores the social, ethical, philosophical and religious implications of advances in AI and robotics and has published widely on these subjects, including two books in 2024: “Religion and Artificial Intelligence: An Introduction” and “The Cambridge Companion to Religion and Artificial Intelligence.”

Professor Singler will join for a conversation with AI&F’s Pablo A. Ruz Salmones to share her perspective on several areas of intersection between AI and religion. These include the entanglement of religious and technological ideologies, the interest and association of AI with new religious movements, and the contribution of religious thinking to ethical discourses on AI. Professor Singler’s wide scholarly perspectives on these issues and more are certain to make for a fascinating discussion, so please mark your calendar for December 3rd to join us.
