Human-Centered AI Conference

A leading convening on Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, held alongside the inaugural Global Summit on Faith in AI. 

This event features keynote addresses, expert panels, and structured lectures examining AI through the lenses of robotics, neuroscience, ethics, and the world's religious traditions — with dedicated time on the sidelines of the conference for strategic discussion among participants. Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing our lives and can play a fundamental role in building a better future for all of humanity. This gathering brings together the AI labs with researchers, policymakers, and global religious figures to advance thoughtful, mindful progress in AI research, education, policy, and practice — and to ask what enduring moral and theological wisdom contributes to the most consequential technological transition of our time.
