Humanity Meets AI Symposium: Welcome

How might AI influence our understanding of humanity, morality, and meaning-making? How will religious traditions and communities adapt to or shape the ethical frameworks guiding AI development? In what ways can religious perspectives contribute to the creation of a more equitable society amid the disruptions AI will bring to labor, governance, and social structures?

Religion and Public Life hosted a symposium that explored the profound ways in which artificial intelligence is reshaping human society, with a particular emphasis on the role of religion, the transformation of societal structures and capitalism, and strategies to reduce inequities as society responds to the sweeping changes brought about by AI.

The symposium equipped our audience with the tools and frameworks to critically engage with the ethical, spiritual, and cultural dimensions of this transformation. In an age increasingly influenced by AI, this symposium helped identify practical opportunities to shape a more humane and just society.
