St. Paul didn’t have access to ChatGPT to draft his letters or translate them into multiple languages, but that doesn’t mean his insights are outdated or irrelevant for today.

In this age of rapidly evolving technology, how might Paul’s theology help us navigate the promises and pitfalls of artificial intelligence?

Rather than imagining what Paul might say about AI, we’ll explore how his theology and writings can serve as a critical starting point for discussing the ethical and spiritual questions living in the brave new AI world in which we find ourselves.

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that blends ancient wisdom with modern questions.
