**Free Hybrid Event, Register via Eventbrite Link**Join us for the third in PSR’s 2024 Earl Lecture series Disruptive AI, Christian Nationalism, and Democracy. This lecture, What Was Meant for Evil: Making AI and Religion Work for Us will be led by John Robichaux, Executive Director for U.C. Berkeley’s Coleman Fung Institute for Engineering Leadership, with a response by PSR Assistant Professor of Pastoral Care, Spirituality, and Political Theology, Leonard McMahon.
The unique moment in history we are living through around AI and religion represents a profound challenge to democracy and the core democratic values of equality, diversity, and justice. This session focuses on how we can use AI and religion to strengthen our democracy. We will explore how the downsides of both can actually come from keeping them apart. Bringing these powerful forces together creatively can allow us to galvanize our communities through greater awareness, more accurate information, and faster responses to social challenges. We can improve collective action by gathering in a variety of new ways, generating more inclusivity and deeper commitment from a broader group of people.
From protecting the voices of the marginalized to recognizing the need for empathy across difference, the practical suggestions offered in this forum will give you confidence that AI and religion can work for us and not against us, for a change.
