By viewing AI through a humanistic and theological lens, we move beyond the binary of “utopia versus apocalypse.” Join Paul Scherz ’10, M.T.S., ’14 Ph.D., Notre Dame’s Our Lady of Guadalupe Professor of Theology, to explore how these tools can be oriented toward the mirror of our spiritual hunger and our ultimate participation in life with God.

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.
