As AI begins generating sermons, answering theological questions, and even issuing automated fatwas, sacred authority faces a new test. Can machine logic align with religious wisdom — or are we witnessing its quiet transformation?

In this multifaith panel, Rabbi Dr Harris Bor — a barrister, theologian, and AI ethics commissioner — joins Dr Yaqub Chaudhary — a Visiting Scholar at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence whose work explores the epistemology and metaphysics of AI — and Revd Dr Chris Goswami, a tech industry veteran, part-time airport chaplain and Associate Minister at Lymm Baptist Church. Together, they explore how AI is entering spaces once reserved for spiritual counsel.

From Islamic chatbots to the Vatican’s ethical concerns, the panel will examine how faith traditions are responding to AI’s expanding role in spiritual life. Chaired by Zeshan Zafar, Executive Director of the Abu Dhabi Forum for Peace.
