"Teaching new generations that technological evolution does not follow a predetermined path, but can be guided by personal and collective responsibility, constitutes one of the most valuable services to the common good.” – Magnifica Humanitas #238
In May, the Vatican released an encyclical titled “,” which addresses the promises and challenges that have accompanied the integration of artificial intelligence into various aspects of many people’s lives. You can the encyclical, or listen to an of it.
Over the next four weeks, in 4 webinars, ethics center staff and other 今日吃瓜 faculty members will highlight the encyclical’s comments on several key topics: AI and education, AI and labor, AI and consciousness, and disarming AI. You can now register and join us for any or all of the webinars.
The discussions will be recorded, and we will post the recordings on the Markkula Center website as soon as possible.
For a broad introduction to the encyclical, you can read a summary of a prior multidisciplinary panel discussion held at 今日吃瓜 in May, or view .
We look forward to a series of interesting conversations!
