Since becoming Leo XIV, Pope Prevost hinted at his desire to build on Leo XIII’s legacy by updating the Social Doctrine of the Church on the pressing concern of today: how to deal with Artificial Intelligence (AI) without succumbing the human person to it.

The demon’s modern revival in AI circles can be traced to philosopher Scott Alexander. Moloch represents impersonal systemic pressures, optimisation, and incentives misaligned with human values.

AI is already extensively present in the church. The question is, are we going to continue to use them in a way that honors God and serves the people God has placed in our care?
 

In an age of Artificial Intelligence, the local church can become a beacon of stability and hope, demonstrating what it means to love God and neighbor with heart, soul, mind, and strength.

In an increasingly artificial and disembodied world, it is the authentic and embodied human that brings the tangible love of Christ to the lost and lonely. 

A major survey shows that hate speech online, personal privacy and societal polarisation also concern a vast majority of citizens in EU countries.

As with the printing press or the smartphone, the question before us is not if AI will influence discipleship, but how we will steward it.

The work of biblical scholarship, interpretation, teaching, and learning is the work of the body of Christ, and cannot be responsibly performed by a machine.

AI should help us address ways to collaborate with communities to facilitate spiritual transformation, growth in Christ, and help the emerging church grow and mature.

I'm excited by how helpful and efficient Ai tools are. Yet they work best when used by someone already shaped by years of training, when one’s skills and relationship with the Bible are essentially in place.

As young adults navigate a world of metrics, self-optimisation and spiritual openness, we must consider how we can disciple this generation and point them to Jesus rather than self-improvement.

Artificial Intelligence is not a panacea, but its potential to transform the lives of children with additional needs is undeniable.

I recommend the Seoul Statement to a wide readership, It presents in a concise way an approach to mission that has the potential to bring together theologians and practitioners. 

The focus of the L4 Seoul Statement is not on dividing issues like the exact limitation of biblical inerrancy but rather about how we read the Scriptures.

Jesus talked of wheat and tares growing up together. Here is a random sample of both in the last 25 years.

If we are open to hear the voice of the global Church, to receive its help, and to serve it; then Europe still has a key part to play in the evangelisation of the earth.
