Seoul World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) General Assembly 2025

Dear AI, Ethics and Trust Special Interest Group participants: Let’s carry this discussion forward together in partnership between WEA and AI and Faith!

At the World Evangelical Alliance General Assembly 2025, we called on delegates and Evangelical Alliances to commit to using AI and every tool at our disposal to fulfill the Great Commission by making disciples of all nations and teaching them to obey all that Jesus commanded.

With the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI), our presentations and work together in Seoul seek to provide a biblically informed, practical and responsible response to the ethical challenges and opportunities for use of AI in the global Kingdom of God.

Now, post-GA, we want to help each Evangelical Alliance respond to the rapidly developing AI faith applications that churches and disciples of Jesus are being offered.

Let’s work together to

Assure that these tools are wisely designed and used
Align them with our cherished Kingdom principles to love God and others
Protect human identity, truth, and justice, and care for creation, and
Use these tools to advance the Great Commission.

Our Invitation to you to register for continuing AI resources and community

AI and Faith is grateful to partner with the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), in fulfillment of our mission to bring the world’s “oldest wisdom” to its “newest challenge and opportunity” around the responsible use of AI. The majority of our experts are Christians, with many identifying as evangelicals.

We are all working shoulder to shoulder to engage each other and the powerful secular forces shaping AI across society, free to speak robustly and respectfully from our faith beliefs.

Our interaction in Seoul is strengthening our understanding of truly global perspectives on AI in the Kingdom of God. We also engaged with participants at the Lausanne Congress in Seoul in October 2024.

Together with WEA and the Lausanne Congress, we are committed to continuing dialogue and action together to build guardrails and justified trust in this rapidly advancing technology.

Please register your name as a representative of your country or regional EA indicating that you share your desire to continue in this effort with us through this contact form.
