Artificial intelligence (AI) is beginning to profoundly impact the world we live in, and religion and theology cannot be secluded from its effects. This raises several very pertinent questions. First, how will AI transform religion, and what new phenomena await us after this transformation? How will these changes affect our (religious, social, practical, epistemic, etc.) identities and our religious experience? Are communication shifts towards online and virtual spaces at the dawn of the digital age giving rise to a new form of religious and spiritual communication (digital liturgy, virtual church, robot priests, etc.)? What lies at the intersection of the digital and the divine? Is theology capable of addressing new ethical and anthropological challenges that the emergence of AI and other new technologies bring with it? What does the striving towards human-centred AI really consist of? Is theology ready for the possibility of a world populated by intelligent machines? How are our current fears and hopes about such a future related to fears and hopes about robots and automata from ancient history and religious traditions? The panel will address these issues with a specific focus being on the specific contribution that theology can bring to the current debates.Chair: Vojko Strahovnik (University of Ljubljana) Speakers:Vojko Strahovnik (University of Ljubljana), Ethical and Theological Challenges of AIBranko Klun (University of Ljubljana), “To Be in the Digital World, But Not of It.” Transformations of the World by AI, and the Challenges for the Religious ExperienceBojan Žalec (University of Ljubljana), Revealing God in the Digital AgeBarbara Ćuk (University of Zagreb), Self-Knowledge and Formation of the Self in the Digital Environment: Some Remarks from Epistemological Perspective Tihomir Lazić (Newbold College of Higher Education), Imago Dei Meets AI: A Quest for Human Personhood in the Digital AgeMartina Vuk Grgic (Université de Fribourg, Institut interdisciplinaire d’éthique et des droits de l’homme), AI and Human Vulnerability: Augmented or Transfigured Reality? – Theo – Anthropological PerspectivesJames McFetridge Wilson (University of Cambridge), Intelligence and Intellectus: Thomas Pfau, the Classical Christian Tradition, and the Contemporary AI DebateJonas Miklavčič (University of Ljubljana), The Concept of Transparency in AI and TheologyMarija Džinić (University of Zagreb), Digital Pastoral Care: The Church and Artificial IntelligenceAaron James Goldman (Lund University), “Roko’s Basilisk,” an (Accidental) Attempt at Rational Theology: Contagious Ideas among AI Enthusiasts and in the History of Religious ThoughtJohn A.
