Interview Published on Christian Daily International

An interview featuring Dr. Walker Tzeng, Executive Director of the World Evangelical Theological Institute Association (WETIA), was recently published on the Christian Daily International website. The article, titled “Leveraging Artificial Intelligence for Theological Education: ‘AI is not a human, it is a tool,’” explores the role of artificial intelligence in theological training and the wider Christian academic community.

In the interview, Dr. Tzeng discusses how AI is increasingly shaping the landscape of theological education, especially in the global south and majority-world contexts. He highlights the opportunities AI provides for expanding access, enhancing learning, and supporting institutions as they navigate new technological realities. He also underscores the distinction between AI as a productive tool and human beings as image-bearers of God, emphasizing that technology must serve, not replace, the human vocation in theology.

Key topics addressed in the interview include the evolution of online theological education, practical and ethical uses of AI in academic settings, and the importance of developing theological frameworks that guide responsible engagement with emerging technologies. Dr. Tzeng also reflects on the global collaboration taking place among theological educators and the role of international networks in sharing resources and best practices.

WETIA invites readers to explore the full interview and consider how AI may contribute to future developments in theological formation and ministry preparation.
