Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)
This paper will review the contributions of official Catholic teaching on AI within the context of Catholic Social Teaching. Using these contributions, as well as the work of Roman Catholic ethicist Margaret Farley and theologian JB Metz, the paper will ask what AI can show us in relief about what it means to be human. It will offer the thesis that it is our relationships with one another and creation that open the horizon of being human and in relationship with God.
