Why Artificial Intelligence needs a Theologian

The Artificial Intelligence revolution is now a reality, and the recent appointment of Father Paolo Benanti, a member of the United Nations Committee on Artificial Intelligence, as Chairman of the AI Commission for Information, underlines the importance of addressing this transformation in a conscious way.

The mission today, and with OPIT – Open Institute of Technology we are going in this direction, is to guarantee for the new generations the opportunity to become aware and responsible in facing change. It is precisely for this reason that we have integrated AI into our educational offer, applying it in a transversal way and with different cuts, and our Master in Responsible AI is just one example. In this article from La Stampa, I write my thoughts on the crucial role that AI can play in the higher education sector, where ethics and philosophy will be central elements in the development and use of this technology.
