Generative artificial intelligence is reshaping the conditions of theological interpretation by changing how religious texts are searched, organised, questioned, and methodologically approached. This article examines the methodological and anthropological implications of integrating generative AI into theological research, with particular attention to the formu lation of research questions, the interpretation of textual corpora, and the responsibility of the human interpreter. The study is based on a theological-anthropological, hermeneutical, and conceptual analysis that draws on the authors’ research trajectory since 2023, including interdisciplinary collaboration with the National Supercomputing Centre, a case study of a religious movement, and scholarly work on AI-assisted analysis of religious texts. It argues that generative AI may function as a dialogical mirror: it can support retrieval, orientation, clustering, and the testing of formulations, while also reflecting the assumptions, prompts, and interpretive horizons of the researcher; however, it cannot replace human interpretation, contextualisation, ethical assessment, or theological discernment. The article therefore pro poses an anthropological turn towards dialogue and responsibility, offering a framework for responsible work with generative AI grounded in dialogical hermeneutics and human-in-the loop theological discernment.
