What does it mean for our view of being human when technology can imitate speech, presence and understanding? Lecturer in theology Johanne Stubbe Teglbjærg Kristensen, from the University of Copenhagen, approaches the question from a Christian understanding of the human being as a bodily creature: vulnerable, dependent and connected to others, rather than primarily information, consciousness or language.
The talk is part of the autumn lecture series "Meaning, faith & ethics" at Eliaskirken, which in 2026 explores artificial intelligence from ethical, theological, philosophical, artistic and social angles. The aim is not to offer simple answers, but to think together about dignity, responsibility and human judgement in a time of intelligent machines.
