IAA亚洲论坛影响力联盟国际年会在凤凰城举行：华人教会与科技领袖共议AI时代
位于亚利桑那州马里科帕县的凤凰城迎来一场华人信仰界盛会：IAA 亚洲论坛影响力联盟国际年会 10 月 20 日至 23 日举行，主题为“旷野中的一道光：从数位文明到永恒治理”。据《基督教论坛报》记者在凤凰城的现场报道，来自海内外华人教会与美国各地教会的牧者、领袖陆续抵达，探讨人工智能重塑世界的时代，信仰如何引导文明未来。
继马来西亚、印尼、台湾与日本之后，IAA 首次跨越太平洋将年会带到美国。联盟执行长郑忠信表示，选址凤凰城意在“走进文明转变的现场”：这座从沙漠中崛起的城市如今也是台积电赴美设厂的重要据点。凤凰城第一浸信会开放场地，其主任牧师 John Heston 的接待成为年会落地的重要支持。
议程方面，台积电前研发副总经理、清华大学半导体学院院长林本坚以“晶片是和平，不是战争”为题分享；“Engage Your Destiny”创始人 Ben Peterson 以“When Intelligence Isn't Human”为题，探讨非人类智慧的挑战；闭幕聚会由北美原住民族团队以舞蹈、鼓声与祷告参与敬拜。
IAA international conference convenes in Phoenix: Chinese churches and tech leaders discuss the AI era
PHOENIX, Arizona — Phoenix, in Maricopa County, Arizona, is hosting the international conference of IAA (Asia Forum Impact Alliance) from October 20 to 23, under the theme "A Light in the Wilderness: From Digital Civilization to Eternal Governance." According to the Christian Tribune's on-site reporting, pastors and leaders from Chinese churches overseas and churches across the United States gathered to discuss how faith should guide civilization as artificial intelligence reshapes the world.
After editions in Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan and Japan, this is IAA's first conference in the United States. Executive director Cheng Chung-hsin said Phoenix was chosen to step into "the very scene of civilizational change": a city risen from the desert that is now also a key site of TSMC's U.S. expansion. Phoenix's First Baptist Church opened its venue to the conference, with lead pastor John Heston's hospitality a key support.
On the program, Burn Lin, former TSMC vice president for research and development and now dean of the College of Semiconductor Research at National Tsing Hua University, speaks on "Chips are peace, not war," while Ben Peterson, founder of Engage Your Destiny, addresses "When Intelligence Isn't Human." The closing gathering features a North American Indigenous team leading worship with dance, drums and prayer.
