Coffee, Cake & Theology - Can AI be wise? Christian Ethics in a Digital Age.

Coffee, Cake & Theology is a relaxed morning tea with the Mary Andrews College community — a chance to enjoy good coffee, good food, and pay attention to God together. 

While theology happens in our classrooms, it also happens around dining tables, over coffee, after church, and wherever Christians wrestle with good questions together. 

This time, we’ll be asking: Can AI be wise?  

AI is already shaping the way we write, learn, create, work and make decisions. But as the possibilities grow, so do the questions. Just because we can use a technology, does that mean we should? 

In their session, Rev. Dr Becki Philip and Naomi Escott will help us think theologically about artificial intelligence, Christian ethics and human responsibility — and how the Bible gives us wisdom for life in a digital age. 

There’ll be a short theology session, time for questions, an alumnae panel, and space to connect with others in the Mary Andrews College community over morning tea. 

Whether you’re a current student, alumna, friend of a student, someone who has studied with us before, or simply curious about Mary Andrews College, you’re warmly invited to join us. 

Everyone who attends is also welcome to stay on and have a ‘taste test’ of a class with Rev. Nat Ray in New Testament Overview. 

This is a Free Event - You may also attend online (11am-12pm)
