Overview

We recommend you watch Professor Davison‘s lecture on the Theology of Artificial Intelligence before this Q&A.  

Watch this question-and-answer session featuring Professor Andrew Davison, Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Oxford. Questions about what the potential power of AI is, how it could be used and how it can exist alongside religion were submitted by A-level Religious Education students, after watching a pre-recorded lecture by Professor Davison.   

Download the accompanying teachers’ notes document, including a full transcript, information about the speaker and the event, plus a list of follow-up questions to spark further discussion. 

This question-and-answer session was recorded during the A-level Religious Education online event on 5th March 2025. Please note all opinions are of the individual speaking and do not represent the views of Westminster Abbey.
