4th Plenary Meeting on Ethics for AI

From July 9 to 11, the Center for Digital Culture, of the Dicastery for Culture and Education, in collaboration with the De Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture at the University of Notre Dame, will host in the US the 4th plenary meeting of Ethics for AI. Approximately 23 scholars from prestigious U.S. universities will participate in this event.

The primary objective of the meeting is to complete the phase of research, collection, and structuring of content, paving the way for the review and editing of two upcoming publications scheduled for the end of the year. These publications will focus on the impact of AI on human agency and neuroscience, and AI and education from a Catholic perspective.

As part of the program, a public session titled Catholic Social Doctrine and AI will be held one of the days under a panel discussion format. In this session, group researchers will engage with external experts of the University of Notre Dame to test the adequacy of the work done during these two years as well as to enrich the messages and study for the future.

This meeting strengthens collaboration among group members and highlights the growing interest in addressing the ethical and human challenges posed by the rapid development of AI-based technologies.
