AI – Ethical and Religious Perspectives
Will advances in AI serve to enhance or diminish our moral and spiritual selves?
Will these advances serve to create better or worse societies?
In this conference we asked what impact future AI is likely to have on notions of the soul, religious faith, religious practice, and the virtues. Does AI pose a threat, or encouragement, to religious belief and practice, and will it create better or worse societies? In turn, we ask how religion might guide and inform attitudes towards, and relationships with, future intelligent machines. Finally, can religious perspectives influence and shape the course of AI research and development? See the full report of the conference.
