Join Denisa Kera-Reshef at a symposium where artificial intelligence is not just a tool, but a theological and philosophical provocation!

AI, Angels, and Demons: Are AI Agents the New Phantasmata?

Angel-like advisors or demonic tricksters?

Machines with minds or just really fancy phantasmata?

Is ChatGPT just a scholastic hallucination in silicon?

Join us for a symposium where AI isn't just a tool but a theological and philosophical provocation. Medieval thinkers debated the agency of angels, demons, and phantasmata as non-human intelligences that were radically external, affective, distributed, and simulated.

Today’s AI agents mediate knowledge, influence desire, and reshape reality, just as angelic and demonic entities once did. But do they resurrect premodern ontologies or force their radical reconfiguration under the weight of contemporary technological, ethical, and philosophical dilemmas?
