Session to discuss the future of artificial intelligence and religious liberty

Leading figures from the two colliding worlds of AI and religious liberty discuss the rapid development of AI and its impacts on religious liberty today.

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, May 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Leading figures from the two colliding worlds of AI and religious liberty – a senior fellow at Microsoft, an evangelical leader, and an AI researcher – will discuss the rapid development of AI and its growing, multifaceted impacts on religious liberty in the United States and abroad.

The May 21, 2025, panel will examine the risks AI poses to humanity, especially to religious pluralism and freedom of thought and practice, as well as the potential opportunities for AI tools to serve the flourishing of religious communities across the world. The session will also consider how religious leaders can engage more in the broader discourse around AI governance and development, what safeguards and mechanisms might help to prevent AI from being used to surveil or suppress religious minorities, and what responsibilities AI companies might have to consult with religious stakeholders when designing systems that may affect spiritual life or expression.

We are thrilled that the 6th National Faith@Work ERG Conference — cohosted by RFBF and the Busch School of Business at The Catholic University of America — has a fantastic group of sponsors from corporations and civil society partners, including Platinum Sponsor The Future of Life Institute.
