Spirit and the Machine: Catholic Responses to an Increasingly Artificial World
鈥淣ow more than ever, we must guarantee an outlook in which AI is developed with a focus not on technology, but rather for the good of humanity and of the environment, of our common and shared home and of its human inhabitants, who are inextricably connected.鈥� -Pope Francis Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most important technologies in the world today-- but it is also one rife with serious spiritual, social and ethical questions. Join us for a robust interdisciplinary discussion that aims to promote responsibility among organizations, governments, institutions of higher education, and the private sector and explore resources that the Catholic intellectual and social teaching tradition might offer to the conversation. Panelists: Ann Skeet, John Farrell, Fr. Philip Larrey, Ph.D. Co-sponsored by America Media, the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, and the Fordham Center on Religion and Culture.
