Prof. Michal Valčo

Professor of Theology and Religious Studies | AI Ethics Scholar & Agent Architect

Exploring the intersection of faith, philosophy, and the future of Artificial Intelligence


I am a Professor at Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia, with over two decades of scholarship in ethics, Christian personalism, and the theological implications of emerging technologies. My academic work explores the theological and ethical dimensions of transhumanism, human flourishing in the technological age, and the philosophical questions posed by advanced artificial agents.

Recently, I've embarked on a journey to not just theorize about AI, but to build with it. As a beginner coder, I'm actively learning to develop and deploy AI agents using Python and related frameworks, aiming to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern code. The questions I've spent years asking—What constitutes authentic agency? How does memory constitute identity? Can virtue be learned?—now have implementation pathways through agentic AI. So I'm building.
