Society is progressing at a pace that mirrors the transformative power of the internet revolution, but now the change is driven by artificial intelligence—a force reshaping every aspect of our lives, from work and education to relationships and identity.
Just as the internet redefined connectivity, AI is challenging our understanding of intelligence, creativity, and what it means to be human. For the Church, this shift is critical to consider. As AI systems become more integrated into daily life, we face urgent questions about ethics, morality, and human dignity.
The concept of imago Dei—that humanity is created in the image of God—stands at the center of this dialogue. How does AI, with its simulated intelligence, challenge our understanding of divine likeness and human uniqueness? The Church must explore these questions to ensure that, in embracing new technology, we do not lose sight of our ethical and moral foundations.
Addressing these issues isn’t optional; it’s essential for guiding believers through an AI-driven world in a way that honors our creation in God’s image and preserves the integrity of our faith.
