The article highlights how FFTN has created space for religious leaders to move beyond reactive criticism toward substantive engagement with AI's societal implications—asking not just what AI can do, but what it should do in service of human flourishing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695e8b87639b955be51301b9/b034c8f5-d802-44da-bd8e-f6b556d6d2a1/instituteforfamilystudies.jpg News & Media - The Artificial Politics of Artificial Intelligence Institute for Family Studies Recently, Republican leadership failed twice to jam preemption—a legal measure to block states from regulating artificial intelligence (AI)—into several must-pass bills. In response, President Trump signed an executive order directing the White House AI & Crypto Czar (i.e., billionaire AI investor David Sacks) and the director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy to propose to Congress a “minimally burdensome [to AI companies] national policy framework for AI.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695e8b87639b955be51301b9/66b12897-1c68-4823-9d5d-b65b6d6becc6/2d7d079c-bba7-4b4f-a705-a35bd9fe3e92_3840x1773.jpg News & Media - Why Buddhism and AI? Buddhism & AI Initiative A few months after the release of ChatGPT, Sam Altman and Jack Kornfield were discussing the future of AI and society on stage at the Wisdom 2.0 Summit. Jack asks Sam, “can [AI] be programmed in such a way or directed so that it can’t be used in malevolent or bad ways, or that underlying it is the Bodhisattva vow?” Sam jokingly responds, facing the audience: “Certainly something I would take would be for Jack to write down ten pages of ‘here’s what the collective values should be and here’s how we should all live’ and we’d have the system just do that. That would be pretty good!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695e8b87639b955be51301b9/b14eb158-bed1-4b9d-b4b4-a7a8a80900ad/1_God-Humanity-and-AI-1.jpg News & Media - God, Humanity and AI tedNEWS What does “AI and religion” mean to you? For some, it’s the pope in a puffy coat. Pastors wonder if they can get away with ChatGPT writing their sermons. Theologians ponder whether machines can become conscious. People are vaguely aware that algorithms recommend, and now produce, social media content. But bigger risks—don’t the tech people have those covered? https://www.faithfamilytech.org/moral-guardrails-statement daily 0.75 2026-03-26
