The Conversation on how AI is shaping faith and spirituality

Dear Reader,

Our webinar on AI and spirituality is coming up on Tuesday, Nov. 17.

People are already turning to AI for comfort in grief, for help in religious practice, and even for spiritual guidance. As technology grows more powerful, those choices raise a bigger question: What does it mean for faith, and for humanity, when machines enter the most personal parts of our lives?

Join us for a live conversation on:

The roles AI is playing in people’s spiritual lives
How religious ideas and themes are shaping AI itself
How AI might be redefining faith

Our editors will lead the discussion with two experts who study these questions from different angles: a religious studies scholar and an AI researcher.
