Internal Event – AI, and the Church: How The Vatican is Engaging the AI Revolution

We cordially invite you to participate in an intellectually stimulating dialogue with Bishop Paul Tighe of the Dicastery for Culture and Education at the Vatican, concerning the active role the Vatican plays in the contemporary AI revolution, including the latest book from the Dicastery’s AI Research Group, Encountering Artificial Intelligence. This discussion will delve into how the Church engages the global Catholic community in response to these technological innovations. We will also explore the collaborative efforts between the Church, international institutions, and other religious entities.

Moreover, our exploration will focus on elucidating how the teachings of the Church can offer valuable guidance to a broad spectrum of individuals, encompassing scientists, technology entrepreneurs, policymakers, and, of equal significance, the congregations in various countries. As we collectively confront the challenges presented by the new era of artificial intelligence, it is essential to underscore the importance of the Catholic Church’s teachings and guidance for the diverse congregations on Earth. This dialogue is committed to addressing some of the most formidable questions raised by AI, with particular emphasis on the inquiry into the unique qualities that define us as human beings.
