A look at the faith-based community working toward responsible AI practices

Ben Olsen, the founder and CEO of the faith and technology advisory firm interintelligence, is working to connect religious concerns with the development of artificial intelligence.

Olsen, who studied philosophy at Seattle Pacific University and briefly attended The Catholic University of America, transitioned from a career as a data architect and teacher at the University of Washington to the technology sector. After joining Microsoft, he collaborated with Seattle-based partners to create the company's first ethics course focused on AI. He now seeks to ensure that human and faith-based perspectives are included in the rapid advancement of AI technology.
