SUMMARY:Making Sense of "Magnifica Humanitas"
DESCRIPTION:Join the CIC on Monday\, June 1 at 6:00 PM EDT for a discussion of Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical on AI\, “Making Sense of Magnifica Humanitas.” Our panelists are Fr. Michael Baggot\, LC\, a theologian and leading voice on AI ethics\, and Mark Ryland\, Catholic technology strategist and Vice President of AI at Istari Digital. \nOur discussion will explore the pope’s emerging vision for the Church and humanity in an age of algorithms\, automation\, and machine intelligence. Drawing from theology\, ethics\, technology\, business\, and Catholic social thought\, Fr. Baggot and Mark Ryland will discuss how the encyclical speaks to pressing contemporary questions: \n\nWhat does it mean to defend human dignity in the era of generative AI?\nHow should Catholics think about work\, creativity\, and economics amid rapid technological disruption?\nCan technological progress remain human-centered?\nWhat unique moral and spiritual contributions can the Catholic tradition offer to the global AI conversation?\nHow should we understand Magnifica Humanitas within the larger historical context of Catholic Social Teaching?\n\nRegister to attend either in-person or virtually through our YouTube livestream. \nJune 1 Schedule: \n\n5:45 pm: Doors Open\n6:00 pm: Panel Discussion and Q&A on Magnifica Humanitas with Fr.
