“AI & Humanity” Conference 28th & 29th August 2026. Cashmere Presbyterian Church, 2 MacMillan Ave. Tickets from: https://events.humanitix.com/ai-and-humanity-conference. AI & Humanity Conference 2026 is a one-and-a-half-day public gathering designed to inform, equip and inspire a general audience about Artificial Intelligence — its rapid developments, its practical applications, and its deeper implications for our lives, communities and humanity itself. The conference is hosted by Cashmere Presbyterian Church and explicitly welcomes all people, regardless of faith background. The event aims to:

  • Demystify AI for everyday people — what it is, how it works, where it is headed
  • Provide practical tools and skills to engage AI confidently in personal and professional life
  • Explore the ethical, social, and human dimensions of AI — including perspectives from both faith and non-faith traditions
  • Create a safe, curious, and collegial space for honest conversation about threats and opportunities
  • Connect Christchurch/Canterbury people with leading New Zealand voices on AI
