Disputatio on Artificial Intelligence

February 25, 2026

In a digital age that is always reforming, artificial intelligence (AI) has become part and parcel of living in modernity. Given its impact, as well as overwhelming enthusiasm for and protest against, it becomes necessary to ask:

  1. How do we best live in the world with the reality of AI?

  2. How do we respond to it faithfully and theologically?

  3. How do we equip leaders to accompany people in the decisions they will face?

To explore this, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary will host a Disputatio on Artificial Intelligence following the medieval questio model in collaboration with powerful voices in medicine, ecology, and higher education. The events of the day include the main disputatio, worship, lunch, and a variety of themed generative conversations hosted by theology and AI experts.

Join us online or in Berkeley on Wednesday, February 25 from 8:30 am - 3 pm for a dynamic day of inquiry!
