Conversation series
In Search of Common Heaven
Global Conversations on Artificial Intelligence, Culture and Human Storytelling.
Mission
Global conversations bringing together filmmakers and cultural leaders from Christian, Muslim and Jewish traditions to explore how Artificial Intelligence can strengthen responsible storytelling, human dignity and dialogue between cultures.
Manifest
- Dialogue before conclusions. We convene people who disagree well.
- Artificial Intelligence never replaces people — it prepares, clarifies and continues the conversation.
- Human dignity is the measure of every technology we discuss.
- Every conversation must leave behind knowledge that outlives the broadcast.
