Exploring Intersections of AI and Faith
AI is already shaping how people learn, work, communicate, govern, and understand what it means to be human. For this reason, ethical AI is a moral, spiritual, and public responsibility.
AI and Faith believes the world’s religions offer ancient wisdom to guide the responsible development of AI.
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. Each of these issues is, at its root, deeply moral.
