St Mary’s in Scotland is delighted to share its upcoming conference on AI, emerging technologies, and Catholic Social thought, sponsored by the Catholic Union of Great Britain and by Churches, Charities and Local Authorities (CCLA) Investment Management Limited.
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.
