About this event

  • 3 hours

Artificial Intelligence can revolutionize the way we create and define knowledge, and how we interact on a social level. It is relevant to understand and analyze these changes in order to proactively shape them. These changes also extend to the realms of religion and theology, highlighting the need for these disciplines to engage actively in this discourse. We see this process as interdisciplinary and interreligious in a global context.

For this reason, in this forum, researchers will present their ongoing projects and results at the intersection of religion and AI. The primary goal of this research forum is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and foster future collaborations and innovative research projects.
