"Faith and Technology: Navigating the Digital Frontier"
Perspectives on the Race in CyberSpace
Friday, April 11, 2025
4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET
The competition for advanced technology is a strategic race between nation-states,
extending to artificial intelligence, chip exports, cyber-security, and disinformation. More than this, however, the technological revolution in cyber and artificial intelligence is not only transforming entire industries but also affects us at personal levels - how we read, learn, shop and even think are profoundly affected by the dizzying pace of digital
change.
How do we cultivate thoughtful Christian perspectives on these issues? How does our
thinking on these issues affect our spiritual lives? Join HCAS for a moderated dialogue
reflecting on the intersection between faith and technology.
REGISTRATION COMING SOON!
Moderator: Poh Lian Lim Yap (College ’87), President HCAS (Harvard Christian Alumni
