Conference: Christian Ethics and Peacebuilding

Conference Organisers:

Dr Femi Omotoyinbo, Queen’s University Belfast

Professor Fiona Magowan, Queen’s University Belfast

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous weapons presents profound ethical challenges for global peace and security. As warfare evolves, Christian ethical traditions offer crucial perspectives on justice, morality, and peace-making in this new technological era.

This conference invites scholars, faith leaders, policymakers, and technologists to explore how Christian ethics can inform responses to AI-driven warfare, autonomous weapons systems, and efforts for peacebuilding. Through theological reflection, interdisciplinary engagement, and practical solutions, we seek to advance discourse on the role of faith-driven ethics in shaping global policy and peace efforts.
