Unpacking Magnifica Humanitas | Webinar

​What does it mean to be human in an age when machines can think, create, and simulate? As artificial intelligence reshapes the way we work, communicate, and even pray, this question is no longer merely philosophical — it is urgent, personal, and inescapable. ​Magnifica Humanitas brings together two leading voices at the intersection of faith, culture, and technology to explore one of the most pressing questions of our time. ​Speakers ​Bishop Paul Tighe: Steering the Machine: The Church's Engagement with AI and Human Flourishing ​Bishop Paul Tighe has spent years in dialogue with the architects of the digital world, bringing the Church's voice into the rooms where the future is being decided. In this talk, he asks what it means for the Church to engage actively — not reactively — with artificial intelligence, and why the question of human flourishing must remain at the centre of every technological choice we make. ​Fr James Hanvey SJ: Traces of God in our Experience of Using AI ​What happens to our inner life when we hand tasks of thought, creativity, and care to machines? Fr. James Hanvey SJ invites us to look more closely at our experience of using artificial intelligence — not with alarm, but with the attentiveness of a contemplative. Where, in the midst of algorithms and automation, might we still find traces of God? ​Organised by Communications Office | Curia Generalizia della Compagnia di Gesù, Rome.
