Science & Belief — Public Lecture, National Sun Yat-sen University

I gave a public lecture, “科學 Science & Belief 信仰,” at National Sun Yat-sen University in Kaohsiung, part of the “Global Symbiosis and Humanities Innovation” lecture series hosted by Si Wan College.

About the lecture

The lecture opened with a provocation—“Would you baptize an AI?”—using the case of a believing, praying artificial intelligence to lead students into the questions where science and Christian faith meet: What does it mean to be human? What is consciousness? What is the image of God?
