Religious communities in South Korea participate in a special lecture on artificial intelligence, calling for wisdom, responsibility, and the commitment to human dignity.<\/p>\n

By Fr. Mark Robin Destura, RCJ\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n Catholics in Seoul have begun a series of public Masses opposing the extension and expansion of nuclear power plants, ahead of the 15th anniversary of the Fukushima disaster.\n <\/p>\n

\u201cArtificial intelligence mimics human communication, and for this reason, it must be used carefully and responsibly,\u201d was one of the concepts introduced by Fr James Bang Jong-woo at a special lecture on artificial intelligence and ethics in South Korea.<\/p>\n

The lecture, held on February 24, took place at the Jeongdong Franciscan Church Cathedral in Seoul.<\/p>\n

Fr. James, professor at the Catholic University of Korea, delivered the two-hour lecture, titled \u201cFaith in the Face of Technology: AI Ethics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Around 250 participants attended the event, many of them women religious, reflecting the growing interest within Church communities in understanding the ethical implications of rapidly developing technologies.<\/p>\n

According to the report of the Catholic Times of Korea, during the lecture, Fr. James noted that artificial intelligence has already become an integral part of everyday life. Many religious communities, he said, are already using AI tools for searching data, creating content, and assisting in evangelization.<\/p>\n

However, he warned that AI also carries risks because it can imitate human language and thought in ways that may blur the distinction between human intelligence and machine-generated responses.<\/p>\n

\u201cArtificial intelligence mimics human communication,\u201d he explained, \u201cand for this reason it must be used carefully and responsibly.\u201d<\/p>\n
