The Intersection of Virtue, Experience, and Digital Culture: Ethical and Theological Insights
The Intersection of Virtue, Experience, and Digital Culture: Ethical and Theological Insights is a research programme that examines the impact of artificial intelligence and digital culture on human identity, moral agency, religious experience, and the understanding of virtues. The programme is based on the question of how contemporary technologies are reshaping human experience of the world, relationships, religious practices, and shared ethical horizons, and how theology and ethics can respond to the new anthropological and social challenges of the digital age.
The research focuses on the ethical and theological dimensions of digital culture, particularly issues related to human-centred artificial intelligence, the cultivation of virtues and character, and the significance of experience in a technologically mediated world. In its final phase, the programme integrates research on digital culture, virtue ethics, and religious experience into a comprehensive framework grounded in the concepts of identity and relationality.
The programme contributes to the development of contemporary theological and ethical reflection on artificial intelligence and to the formulation of responses to the challenges that digital transformation poses for individuals, communities, and society.
