Yeshiva University President Advocates for Faith's Role in AI Development
Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman, president of Yeshiva University, emphasizes the importance of integrating faith into the development of artificial intelligence (AI). He argues that AI should be guided by ethical values and moral clarity, which he believes are rooted in religious traditions. Berman highlights the need for institutions with deep roots to navigate modern challenges, including antisemitism and the ethical deployment of AI. He notes that Yeshiva University is expanding its focus on technology and AI, drawing students and faculty from elite universities. Berman stresses that AI is morally neutral, and its impact depends on how it is used and regulated.
