The Center for Faith and Inquiry is dedicated to forming the thoughtful Christian for global engagement.
The Center for Faith and Inquiry is dedicated to the development and the promotion of intentional Christian scholarship that addresses matters of vital concern in the church, academy and contemporary society. We seek to foster accessible and stimulating scholarly conversations across disciplines, across disagreements, and across faiths by welcoming speakers to campus, hosting academic events, and by supporting faculty and student research. Through this work, we bring the rich resources of the Christian faith to bear on key academic questions and debates in contemporary culture.

Recent developments in Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) enable the creation of chatbots that can mimic human-like conversations. This talk will demonstrate a chatbot that takes on the persona of C.S. Lewis followed by a reflection on whether this, in fact, is a good thing. Using chatbots to mimic persons is novel and entertaining, but could there be potential pitfalls for the notion of personhood? Furthermore, LLMs can “hallucinate,” generate misinformation, and promote disinformation thereby undermining truth. Despite these pitfalls, this talk will refer to the Biblical story to sketch a responsible way forward for AI and chatbots.
