Matthew Sanders is a technologist working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and Catholic evangelisation, building digital tools that are shaping how people encounter faith in the modern world.
In this conversation, he discusses the rise of AI as a space for spiritual inquiry, the millions of users engaging with Magisterium AI, and the kinds of personal and religious questions being asked through these systems. The discussion explores whether AI can serve as a form of pre-evangelization, the risks of mediating spiritual authority through technology, and what Catholics can expect Pope Leo to say in his forthcoming encyclical on AI.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
