About the Summit

A distinct London chapter — same DNA, different voice.

MAI London continues the conversation begun in Silicon Valley, but with its own character — shaped by the depth of European thought, the heritage of British creative arts, and the practical questions facing church and marketplace leaders across the UK and Europe.

We're moving past the early "be careful about AI" framing and into the harder, more useful question: how do we build, deploy, and discern well? Expect application, not abstraction — paired with a critical counter-voice that takes the shadow side seriously.

The Theme

Two edges. One honest conversation.

Every powerful tool casts a shadow. The summit holds both edges in the same room — not to balance them politely, but to think more clearly.

Light

Application & opportunity
  • Practical AI use across worship, teaching, and ministry operations
  • Creative arts amplified — music, video, theatre, storytelling
  • Workplace AI from people actually shipping with it
  • Last-mile reach and Bible engagement at global scale

Shadow

Critical lens & discernment
  • Theological and ethical pushback from serious thinkers
  • What AI does to us, not just for us
  • Trust, attention, formation, and the human person
  • The questions builders need to keep asking
Content Tracks

Four conversations. One day.

01

AI in Worship & Teaching

Beyond music — sermon prep, theological education, production, and the changing texture of Sunday morning.

02

AI in the Creative Arts

Theatre, video, music — leveraging London's creative heritage to ask what Christian artistry looks like in an AI-shaped world.

03

AI in the Workplace

Not productivity tips. Real practitioners — from finance to energy to agentic startups — on what's actually working.

04

The Critical Lens

A serious counter-voice. Ethics, formation, and the questions that should give every builder pause.

The Venue

Plaisters' Hall

One of the City of London's great livery halls, set near London Wall and the Museum of London. A turnkey space with in-house AV, generous networking areas, and on-site catering — chosen so the day flows without friction and conversation keeps moving.

Technology Builders

Christians at AI/tech companies seeking missional application — engineers, founders, product leaders, and creatives asking what to build, and what not to.

Marketplace Christians

Leaders in business, finance, education, arts, and public life navigating AI's impact in their daily work and witness.

From Silicon Valley to London

Building on the momentum of MAI Silicon Valley 2026.

In April, Christian leaders and technologists gathered in Santa Clara to ask how AI can serve human flourishing and the mission of God. MAI London carries that conversation across the Atlantic — into a different context, with sharper edges, and a uniquely European voice.
