Faith and AI with Dr. Marianna Richardson

Marianna Richardson brings a rare combination of experience in faith, education, communication, and global policy. As Director of Communications for the G20 Interfaith Forum and a professor at Brigham Young University, she works at the center of some of today’s biggest conversations surrounding religion, human flourishing, technology, and international cooperation. Her work explores how faith communities can help shape ethical responses to emerging global challenges while preserving human dignity, freedom, and meaningful connection. What makes Marianna especially compelling for podcasts is the breadth of her personal and professional journey. She is a writer, educator, and speaker who earned advanced degrees from Johns Hopkins University and Seattle Pacific University while raising 12 children and serving alongside her husband during their leadership assignment in São Paulo, Brazil. She later attended law school with a passion for religious freedom and has written extensively on communication, faith, education, and culture. Marianna speaks with both academic depth and personal warmth. Whether discussing faith and technology, religious freedom, education, human flourishing, leadership, family, or the future of society, she brings thoughtful insight grounded in real-life experience. Her perspective resonates with audiences looking for hopeful, intelligent conversations about how people can preserve meaning, morality, and human connection in a rapidly changing world.For more on the G20 Interfaith Forum go to www.g20interfaith.orgFor more on WI Faith Voices for Justice go to www.wifaithvoices.org
