AI & Religion: Shared Insights, Emerging Directions captures the collective reflections of faith leaders, technologists, scholars, and civil society practitioners convened in November 2025 for a multi-faith forum examining how artificial intelligence is reshaping human life, moral responsibility, and social cohesion. The report synthesizes insights from plenary discussions, table conversations, scenario-based exercises, and action-planning sessions, offering a grounded snapshot of how faith-informed actors are grappling with both the risks and possibilities of AI at a moment of rapid technological acceleration.
The gathering that generated this report was intentionally designed to center faith voices—speaking in the language of faith leaders and addressing their practical concerns—while fostering collaboration across religious traditions and sectors. Rather than focusing on abstract or purely technical debates, participants explored how AI is already affecting communities and institutions, and what constructive roles faith communities can play moving forward.
Key themes include a widespread sense of moral urgency around AI’s trajectory; deep concern for children, youth, and widening inequities; the erosion of human relationality in increasingly automated systems; and the unique capacity of faith communities to serve as custodians of meaning, moral discernment, and public accountability. The report concludes by highlighting areas of increased attention, emerging next steps for faith leaders, and opportunities for broader collaboration to ensure AI development serves human dignity and shared flourishing.
