This session explores the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), womanist visual culture, and the theo-moral imagination, as conceptualized by AnneMarie Mingo. By examining how AI can analyze and generate visual narratives that reflect womanist visual culture, this research aims to illuminate new dimensions of agency and moral responsibility in religious contexts. Through a critical lens, we will discuss how AI-driven visual narratives can both enhance and complicate notions of freedom, particularly in terms of representing marginalized voices. By integrating AI experiments with womanist theology, this session will highlight the potential of AI to amplify the theo-moral imagination that guides social activism and justice movements, while emphasizing the need for culturally sensitive AI practices that respect diverse religious narratives.
This title and abstract incorporate Mingo's concept of theo-moral imagination, emphasizing its role in guiding the ethical use of AI in womanist visual culture to promote freedom and agency.
