Can artificial intelligence serve the common good—or does it risk undermining human dignity and freedom?
In this episode of Angelicum Insights, Sr. Helen Alford, O.P., President of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences and Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the Angelicum, explores the ethical implications of AI through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching.
She reflects on how emerging technologies must be shaped by a human-centered vision—one that prioritizes the dignity of the person, the protection of work, and the pursuit of justice. Rather than allowing profit or efficiency alone to guide innovation, Catholic tradition calls for a technological development that serves people, strengthens communities, and upholds the common good.
This series offers short reflections on today’s questions through the lens of Scripture and the Catholic intellectual tradition.
