US bishops form task force on artificial intelligence

Catholic Intelligence1 min read

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops Administrative Committee established the Bishops’ Task Force on Preserving Human Dignity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. Bishop Oscar Cantù of San Jose will chair the group, though the committee has not yet determined its membership.

The decision follows a meeting between the Administrative Committee and representatives from various technology firms and artificial intelligence specialists. According to USCCB spokesperson Chieko Noguchi, the dialogue addressed the need to keep artificial intelligence at the service of humanity and the necessity of managing the dangers the technology presents. The bishops intend to find ways for the Church to contribute to the moral foundations of artificial intelligence models and to help companies protect against misuse and ensure human oversight.

The formation of the task force responds to the appeal made by Pope Leo XIV in his encyclical, Magnifica humanitas, which encourages building cooperation and a culture of shared responsibility. The Church seeks to work with the industry to ensure technology remains human-centered, respects individual dignity, and benefits both the rich and the poor.
