The inaugural convening of the Faith–AI Covenant — a foundational dialogue between faith and technology.
On 30 April 2026, faith leaders, technologists, researchers, and civil society representatives gathered in New York for the inaugural roundtable of the Faith–AI Covenant initiative, convened by the Interfaith Alliance for Safer Communities in partnership with Precognition.
As the first convening in the series, New York was designed to be exploratory rather than conclusive — a space to surface foundational questions, identify areas of shared concern, and begin building the relationships necessary for a genuinely collaborative process. Participants represented a broad range of faith traditions and technical backgrounds, creating an interdisciplinary dialogue between communities that do not often engage one another directly or in sustained depth.
How AI can be developed and deployed in ways that actively uphold human dignity rather than diminish it.
The opportunity for faith communities to contribute centuries of moral reasoning and lived experience to AI governance discussions.
How AI can support vulnerable individuals and strengthen communities when designed with care and ethical intentionality.
The importance of shared frameworks that protect human agency, cognitive liberty, and relational depth.
The need for sustained dialogue between technologists, faith leaders, and civil society — and why one-off conversations are not enough.
