Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Speaks at University’s Law School

A June 11 campus conversation sparked by a new Catholic University of America Press book, Can AI Ever be Human? Consciousness Explored, turned into something far bigger: a wide-ranging dialogue about artificial intelligence, human dignity, and the soul of a new papal encyclical.

Civil dialogue experts from across the country gathered at The Catholic University of America to discuss how faith-based colleges and universities can foster conversation rather than polarization. This public session, held on June 8 in Heritage Hall, was part of the third annual convening of the American Council on Education’s Commission on Faith-Based Colleges and Universities.

From the BBC to The Washington Post, media have turned to artificial intelligence (AI) experts and ethicists at The Catholic University of America to explain the meaning and impact of Magnifica Humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in The Time of Artificial Intelligence.
