About Dr. Hunt

His work insists that the humanities are not decorative luxuries but the foundation of leadership in every sphere, from business to politics to science. In an era when AI can process information faster, Hunt argues that machines still cannot model the most essential lessons: how to be a human among other humans. For him, the real measure of education lies in its capacity to cultivate cultural intelligence, moral imagination, and the ability to wrestle with the “big questions” that define human kind.

With advanced degrees from The University of Texas at Austin, Southern Methodist University, and a PhD in History from the University of Malaya, Hunt has taught and led programs across Southeast Asia, Europe, and the United States. His roles have ranged from directing global theological education at SMU to developing international continuing education initiatives in Malaysia and Singapore.

Throughout, his scholarship and teaching have explored the intersections of religion, culture, and leadership, asking how communities can orient themselves toward dignity and flourishing in what he calls the “the AI age.” For Hunt, the task is clear: protect the human space for meaning-making, truth-seeking, and community-building, even as AI becomes part of our world of relationships.
