At a recent forum hosted by the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome, Professor Dr. Michael Baggot was able to speak on how Artificial Intelligence can be used to serve the Church’s mission of evangelization, by providing online resources.

Fr. Baggot emphasized the importance of technology in spreading information and guidance, echoing Pope Francis’s views at the World Peace Day and World Communications Day, showing AI’s potential in fostering an exchange of information. However, there is some concern that excessive reliance on technology may diminish our humanity. Fr. Baggot stressed the need to balance technological advancements, while having an awareness of our human condition to avoid misuse of these new resources.
