AI and evangelization

George Weigel suggests that leaders of the artificial intelligence revolution lack an understanding of the deep truths inherent to the human condition. Writing for Catholic Review, Weigel noted that these leaders often overlook truths discoverable through reason and revelation that lead to personal flourishing and social solidarity.

He referenced a June podcast regarding the encyclical Magnifica Humanitas to argue that those driving AI development seem oblivious to these metaphysical realities. Weigel also cited a Wall Street Journal column by Peggy Noonan, which described a culture in Silicon Valley characterized by unconventional beliefs and a detachment from traditional religious conviction.
