Catholic Social Teaching vs AI and Killer Robots

A reflection on the impact of Artificial Intelligence on human relationships by Victor Reyes “The Bible teaches that every man and woman is created out of love and made in God’s image and likeness (cf.

 The Jesuit Forum is based in Tkaronto, on land that has been taken care of, for thousands of years, by the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat, and the Métis. It is now home to many Indigenous Peoples. We acknowledge the current treaty holders and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This territory is subject to the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an inspiring agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region.

We are grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on this beautiful land, with gorgeous trees and lakes. We hope to grow more conscious and appreciative of this life community, of its Indigenous history, presence and wisdom. 

 

The Jesuit Forum

We seek to promote Social Faith and Justice through “Listening circles” so that we can help our polarized world grow in common understanding and harmony for the sake of right relationships.

"You have noticed that everything an Indian does is done in a circle, 
and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, 
and everything tries to be round.  
 
Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle.  
The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are the stars.  The wind, in its greatest power, whirls.  
Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours.  
The sun comes forth and goes down in a circle. 
The moon does the same, and both are round.  
Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, 
and always come back again to where they were.  
 
The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, 
and so it is in everything where power moves.  
 
Our tepees were round like the nests of birds, 
and these were always set in a circle, 
the nation's hoop, 
a nest of many nests, 
where the Great Spirit meant for us to hatch our children." 
 
~ Black Elk Speaks (Chapter 17), 1933
