AI is moving faster than we – or our ethical frameworks – can keep up.
How are faith traditions responding to AI, most recently highlighted in Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas? We gather key faith voices to explore these issues. Come and share your thoughts and concerns as we chart a faith-based response towards the biggest challenge of our age.
As well as the registration link below, we've linked to some of our recent articles on AI which you may wish to read ahead of the webinar.
