In an era where technology is transforming every facet of our existence, the Catholic Church is harnessing innovation to enrich theological scholarship and evangelization. At the vanguard of this movement is Magisterium AI, a groundbreaking tool that unlocks the Church's extensive treasury of wisdom. This event offers a unique opportunity to explore how Magisterium AI can enhance theological inquiry and education, while addressing the challenges and prospects of integrating artificial intelligence into the Church's mission.

Join us for an enlightening keynote address by Fr. Kenny Ang, as he explores the fusion of AI and theology. Fr. Ang will illuminate the synergy between theology and technology, showcasing how Magisterium AI can revolutionize theological research and pedagogy.

His presentation will focus on three key areas:

  1. The Harmony of Theology and Technology: Fr. Ang will begin by affirming the potential for a harmonious relationship between these two fields, offering examples that demonstrate how technology can serve as a powerful tool for deepening theological understanding.
  2. Database Expansion and Source Hierarchy: Venturing into the core of Magisterium AI's evolution, Fr. Ang will tackle the critical challenges of expanding the database and establishing a hierarchy of sources. He will underscore the indispensable role of theologians in shaping this technology to ensure it faithfully advances the Church's mission.
  3. Integrating AI into Theological Education: With an eye toward the future, Fr. Ang will present visionary proposals for incorporating Magisterium AI into classroom teaching. He will invite attendees to contribute their perspectives, sparking a collaborative dialogue on the tool's potential to redefine theological instruction.

Following the keynote, an esteemed panel of specialists will delve into the challenges and opportunities presented by Magisterium AI. This panel discussion will explore the broader implications of AI in theology, addressing both its technical and ethical dimensions. Attendees will then have the chance to engage directly with the speakers during a live Q&A session, offering their insights and questions in a dynamic exchange.

This event is not just a lecture but an interactive experience designed for scholars, clergy, students, and anyone interested in the intersection of faith and technology. It promises to be a thought-provoking conversation that bridges the theoretical and practical aspects of AI in theology.

Seize this exceptional opportunity to be part of a trailblazing dialogue where faith meets technology. Join us at the Pontifical Gregorian University on May 5, 2025, at 15:00 hrs, and help shape the future of theological exploration and evangelization.
