Session I: Ai Ethics: A God-Centered Vision

Al Ethics reflects both the vast potential and the ethical challenges of artificial intelligence. At its core, it asks how AI can support human values like freedom, dignity, and relationality, all rooted in our identity as people created in the image of God.

The new Vatican document presents AI not as an end in itself, but as a tool to serve the human person and promote the common good. From a God-centered view, technology must never replace humanity, but support our shared call to communion with God and one another.

This vision grounds innovation in justice, solidarity, and care for all, ensuring AI serves true human and spiritual flourishing.

Session II: Digital Advancements and the Church’s Mission Today

This presentation explores how digital innovation is reshaping the Church’s mission in the modern world. It highlights new methods of evangelization and pastoral outreach made possible by technology, examines the challenges of engaging faith communities online, and reflects on the ethical and spiritual considerations that arise in an increasingly digital age.
