Catholic Social Teaching and AI: Responses to the Ethical Challenges of Emerging Technologies
Ever since Rerum Novarum in 1891, the Church has, through her official teaching, presented the world with the key social principles required in order to properly discern how to order society towards the kingdom of God.
Written on the backdrop of a changing social landscape in the west as a result of technology, Pope Leo realised that the impact technology has on society would require spiritual intervention, and the same is true today.
With the popular emergence of generative AI and the wider implementation of autonomous systems, there is an urgent need to discuss what impact these technologies have on society, through a deep reflection with Catholic Social Thought – an urgency noted by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of Faith’s document Antiqua Et Nova.
***Please Note: The dates for this conference have changed from taking place on the 3rd to the 4th of September, to now taking place on the 2nd and 3rd of September.
