Can we accept the risk that artificial bias could be propagated at incredible speed by an indefatigable algorithm, if left to run without human oversight? We must develop a “guardrail” to keep technological development on track.
Machine learning and artificial intelligence, for example, have the ability to predict but not to explain. It is not about specific technologies but the ethos according to which they are implemented. DEVELOPING GUARDRAILS TO KEEP TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT ON TRACK Are there any new technologies that particularly worry you? The mission of the Church in this context is to be an active voice to reinforce the importance of the timeless values of caring and togetherness. However, we can’t ignore that digital tools could equally be used to alienate vulnerable people in an insidious way by pushing them towards purely online interactions as a substitute for “real” social relationships. We can harness technology to help the weakest in society, children and the elderly, to bring them back into the community and give them a sense of belonging. The Church and technology can be strong allies in retaining a sense of community in today’s changing social environment. OR DO WE? HARNESSING TECHNOLOGY TO HELP THE WEAKEST What is the position of the Church on new technologies?
