AI-powered chatbot gives Muslims religious guidance Programmers say they trained the "Virtual Ifta" on around 130,000 fatwas issued by real-life religious scholars.STORY-LINE:Islamic fatwas, or religious decrees, are getting an AI twist. The UAE's Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD) has launched a "Virtual Ifta" program, to give AI-generated guidance to Muslims on their religious queries. The program, available on a website and through a mobile application, uses an AI-powered chatbot to answer questions on how to best practice Islam. It takes live questions and replies back. It's available 24/7. It's claimed to be the first of its kind in the Islamic world. "The platform is based and built on an AI technology and machine learning," explains project manager Abdulla al Awadhi.

AI religion: 'Godhead' robo religion started by fired Uber exec called Way of the Future - TomoNews. Ex-Google and ex-Uber engineer Anthony Levandowski has decided to preempt the AI apocalypse by forming a robot religion called the Way of the Future. According to Wired, papers filed with IRS in May put Levandowski as the "dean" and CEO of the non-profit religion. Levandowski's robo-religion has a gospel, reportedly dubbed The Manual.

God and robots: Will AI transform religion? - BBC News Artificial intelligence is changing how we interact with everything: food, healthcare, travel - and also religion. Experts say major global faiths are discussing their relationship with AI, and some are starting to incorporate this technology into their worship. Robot priests can recite prayers, perform funerals, and even comfort those experiencing a spiritual crisis. Is it just a gimmick, or will it transform how people experience faith?

How Artificial Intelligence Intersects with Religion

What connections does AI have with Religion? Welcome to Gresham Lectures!

The Catholic Church and Artificial Intelligence Fr. Cristian Mendoza of the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome examines the Church's reaction to the benefits -- and dangers -- of Artificial Intelligence. See the interview on EWTN News Nightly with Lauren Ashburn.

Alexander Görlach: AI & the Future of Religion Carnegie Council Senior Fellow Alexander Görlach, editor-in-chief of online magazine "ConditioHumana," discusses what the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) means for religion and, specifically, whether Catholicism will be able to adapt.

Artificial Intelligence: Implications for Ethics and Religion “Artificial Intelligence: Implications for Ethics and Religion” is an exciting one-day conference to be held on January 30, 2020, at Union Theological Seminary (UTS) in New York, in conjunction with the Jewish Theological Seminary of America (JTS), the Riverside Church and the Greater Good Initiative. New technologies are transforming our world every day, and the pace of change is only accelerating. In coming years, human beings will create machines capable of out-thinking us and potentially taking on such uniquely-human traits as empathy, ethical reasoning, perhaps even consciousness. This will have profound implications for virtually every human activity, as well as the meaning we impart to life and creation themselves. This conference will provide an introduction for non-specialists to Artificial Intelligence (AI)

'AI and Religious Beliefs’ with Yorick Wilks This lecture addresses the potential links between AI and religious belief, which include the question of whether an artificial “superintelligence”, were one to arise, would be well-disposed towards us. Religious traditions historically assume that creations are well disposed to those who made them. The lecture also looks at the recent US cults claiming to be ready to worship such a “super-intelligence”, if and when it emerges, as well as other futurist discourse on “Transhumanism” and its roots in 18th-century rationalism. I will also look at recent attempts by religious groups to make use of AI developments like chatbots.

Data Science & Religion

Religions and babies | Hans Rosling Hans Rosling had a question: Do some religions have a higher birth rate than others -- and how does this affect global population growth? Speaking at the TEDxSummit in Doha, Qatar, he graphs data over time and across religions. With his trademark humor and sharp insight, Hans reaches a surprising conclusion on world fertility rates.

CRAP Talks #8 - Shaun McGirr: "Data Science vs. Data Religion" Shaun McGirr gives perhaps one of the funniest and thought-provoking talks ever given at a CRAP Talks event. Shaun from Cox Automotive speaks about data measuring the behaviour and its outcomes, "what" happened and religion explaining "why" things happen, with the "how" missing.
