The event will bring together global experts, students, and recent graduates to engage in dialogue about the intersection of religion, technology, and morality.\n\nThe moderator, Amjad Atallah, the managing director of Doha Debates, emphasized the importance of exploring the role of religious traditions in guiding AI as it reshapes people's lifestyles. Atallah commented, \"Every generation introduces a technological breakthrough that compels us to ask what kind of future we want to build. With AI, that question is outpacing our institutions’ ability to answer it.\"\n\nBy convening experts from various religious and secular backgrounds alongside young individuals who will be living with the consequences of this rapidly evolving technology, the event aims to foster a meaningful conversation on the future of AI. Atallah highlighted this truth-seeking exchange as both timely and consequential.",
