The ECLAS Eastern Asia hub, based at Singapore Bible College, is running a course for students on the Bible and the ethics of AI.
Course lead Dr Kelvin Chong explores the intersection of Artificial Intelligence development and theological education. In this video from the third lecture, we see how AI mechanisms including attention mechanisms, backpropagation, and reinforcement learning are inherent human cognitive abilities.
By categorizing machine learning into supervised and unsupervised models, the lecture encourages students to transition toward independent, unsupervised learning to cultivate higher-level critical thinking and theological discernment.
The lecture also discusses practical applications for the church, including the use of hardware and software to manage ecclesiastical data. A synergistic relationship is one where humans use AI to enhance intellectual output while maintaining the essential "human" traits of emotional intelligence and moral reflection.
Note: The original lecture was in Chinese. This English summary was produced with NotebookLM.

Most of the literature on the relationship between science and religion has been produced in a Western context with an emphasis on the Christian religion. However, there is increasing awareness of the wisdom and insights generated in many different contexts, cultures and religions, including indigenous knowledge. There is also a growing appreciation that some of the major issues of the 21st century (e.g. AI, genetics, climate change and biodiversity loss etc) require far more than a narrow focus scientific analysis from a predominantly western viewpoint. In a globalized, hyper-connected world, these issues need to be explored with ethical, philosophical, spiritual and theological lenses. It is crucially important to pay close attention to the effect of context on how the science and religion relationship is understood. This lecture will explore how such an inter-contextual approach is working in the Equipping Christian Leadership in an Age of Science (ECLAS) project and also in the work of the Anglican Communion Science Commission, and outline some principles for a genuinely fruitful science and religion relationship in the future.
