Summary
This episode is a recording of our AI Webinar Series kick-off webinar held on June 18, 2026. Please find the webinar details below. Moderator: Audrey Kitagawa (President/Founder, International Academy for Multicultural Cooperation) Speakers: Will Jones (Associate of Futures Program, Future of Life Institute) Dr. DZ Kalman (Fellow at Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, Harvard University) Chris Scammell (Co-Founder, Buddhism & AI Initiative) AI and faith meet at the point where technology forces humanity to reconsider dignity, purpose, and moral responsibility. Many religious traditions see AI as a positive tool for society to use, while also raising concerns about justice, identity, and the limits of machine reasoning. Across these traditions, leaders emphasize that AI must remain grounded in human moral agency, empathy, and spiritual insight. Overall, the dialogue between AI and faith is not about resisting technology but about shaping it. Religious voices seek to ensure that AI serves humanity ethically, preserves what is sacred about human life, and supports a future rooted in wisdom, compassion, and moral responsibility.
