Beta: A Science and Faith Discussion

Our last session explored the implications of AI. It was well-attended with over 30 participants! The Beta team and participants engaged in a lively discussion which resulted in a decision to continue the conversation about AI and the Catholic Church. The focus of this session will be: From Silicon Valley to the Vatican (Part II) Shaping the guardrails of AI - and finding a center

The Beta team will present a review and discussion of recent happenings, themes, and perspectives on AI, Technology, and the Church – and what this means for our society and faith. In this session, we aim to explore topics such as: human dignity, intelligence and encounters; morals and ethics; sensationalism; and the historic development of new technologies. It is not necessary to have attended the previous session to attend the Part II discussion.
