Beth Singler is Assistant Professor in Digital Religion(s) at the University of Zurich in the Faculty of Theology. She explores the social, ethical, philosophical, and religious implications of advances in Artificial Intelligence and robotics. A social and digital anthropologist, Singler has also produced documentary films as part of her public scholarship. Dr. Singler will be interviewed by CCSR Visiting Fellow Suzanne van Geuns, whose research on the rightwing internet broadly examines the intellectual exchange between computational projects and the gendered or sexual imagination.
