Archbishop of Canterbury leads House of Lords debate on AI’s human impact
June 05, 2026
[Lambeth Palace] Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally hosted a debate on June 5 in the House of Lords, urging peers to take note of artificial intelligence’s impact on human relationships and wider society. Hailing AI as a “remarkable product of human creativity” which has led to “extraordinary discoveries and breakthroughs,” Mullally also stressed the importance of protecting human relationships, connections, creativity, democracy and Earth. Calling on AI companies to adopt a “pro-human” approach, Mullally argued for implementing a theological, philosophical and spiritual framework to inform how people create, control and use AI. The goal, she said, would be to use AI to serve humanity, rather than diminish it. Read Mullally’s entire speech here.
