The World Day for Social Communications is marked on Sunday, 17 May.
This year, Pope Leo’s message examines how we need to preserve our God-given human dignity and show wisdom and good judgment in our use of fast-evolving communications technologies – particularly AI.
This is a theme we discuss on this Catholic News podcast with the ‘media bishop’ for the Catholic Church in England and Wales, Bishop John Arnold.
As Bishop of Salford, Bishop Arnold is a stone’s throw from Media City and regularly comments on the issues of the day from a Catholic perspective.
Today we talk about the opportunities and pitfalls of artificial intelligence, how human encounter must not be lost behind a device screen, technological innovation at the service of truth, the need to preserve human faces and voices as Pope Leo emplores us to do, and more.
You can subscribe to our Catholic News podcasts via Apple Podcasts or Amazon/Audible.
