On March 23 and 24, join us in the Regent College Chapel or online at rgnt.net for an exploration of faith, ethics, and the technological trajectories shaping our world.

Regent College is pleased to welcome philosopher Meghan Sullivan to this year’s Laing Lectures. Highly regarded for her philosophical explorations of time, happiness, faith, and meaning, Dr. Sullivan gives direction to scholarly initiatives centred on ethics and the common good.

In her first lecture, Dr. Sullivan will discuss the vital role of the Christian ethical imagination as the focus of the global economy shifts from digital search and advertisement to large models and agentic AI. Drawing on consultations with diverse Christian leaders, she’ll highlight five concepts from the Christian ethical tradition and their relevance to current debates around the development and deployment of powerful AI.

In her second lecture, Dr. Sullivan will narrow her focus to Christian teaching about the dignity of work. Developed in the shadow of the Industrial Revolution, this philosophical and theological project cries out for updating and renewal as AI rewrites global economies and social contracts. Finally, she’ll help us apply these theories to some concrete questions by looking at how the Christian ethical tradition can inform our use of AI in schools and workplaces.
