The risks of artificial general intelligence: how should faith communities respond?

A panel discussion with Antje Jackelén (Lund University), Max Tegmark (MIT) and more hosted by the World Council of Churches on 25 February

The dialogue will occur among scientists, ethicists, and theologians, who will focus on various facets of the risks of AI, including the AI arms race.

The expert panel will examine the risks of the AI arms race between the USA and China; whether an international rules-based order can limit these developments; and how faith communities can respond.
