AI Development in Europe - implications for religion

Religious representation in AI models is critical to ensuring that these systems fairly and accurately reflect the plurality of beliefs, practices, and worldviews present in global societies. Addressing this gap is especially urgent as LLMs and other AI systems increasingly mediate sensitive cultural, ethical, and social interactions. This panel invites proposals that explore related topics, such as:

• The role of religious scholars, communities, and organizations in shaping AI design and governance;
• Historical examples of how religious scholars, communities, and organizations have intervened in technology developments (for good or ill);
• The ethical and technical challenges of including religious diversity in AI training datasets.
