Oliver Li is a Researcher at Uppsala University's Center for Multidisciplinary Research on Religion and Society (CRS) and Department of Theology, Ethics and Philosophy of Religion division. His interdisciplinary work merges theological inquiry with cutting-edge artificial intelligence ethics, establishing him as a distinctive voice at the technology-religion intersection. Li's research traverses Theology , Philosophy of Religion , Ethics , and Artificial Intelligence , with specialized focus on panentheism and process theism. He critically examines how these frameworks address contemporary AI challenges including artificial suffering, moral development in human-AI systems, and consciousness implications. His investigations extend to literary analysis of AI subjectivity in works like Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun , alongside philosophical explorations of infinity and mathematical theology. Analysis of Li's 15 most recent publications reveals a pronounced trajectory toward technology-theology dialogue, particularly through 2023-2024 works interrogating AGI development ethics. Recurring themes include the morality of creating sentient machines, theological responses to AI-induced cognitive changes, and reimagining divine action in computational contexts. This cohesive body of work positions him at the vanguard of emerging academic discourse on spiritual dimensions of technological advancement. Li actively contributes to Uppsala University's interdisciplinary ecosystem through the Center for Multidisciplinary Research on Religion and Society (CRS), where he engages in cross-departmental projects examining religion's evolving societal role. His collaborative publications with scholars like Johan Eddebo demonstrate substantive engagement with research teams addressing technology's anthropological and ethical implications, particularly through media interventions like the 2023 Aftonbladet debate on AI's cognitive impacts.
