Why do AI chatbots display abilities that even their own designers find surprising? And what does theology have to do with it? In his recent TEDxVUAmsterdam talk, Marius Dorobantu explored how theological perspectives can help make sense of moments when AI seems to outperform expectations.

Marius Dorobantu is Assistant Professor of Theology & AI at the VU School of Religion and Theology, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities.
