The Promise and Perils of AI: A Catholic Blueprint for the Future | David DeWolf
Artificial intelligence is transforming our world, but will it strengthen our humanity or diminish it?
In this thought-provoking keynote, entrepreneur and former CEO of Knownwell, David DeWolf explores the opportunities and dangers of AI through the lens of Catholic social teaching. Drawing on the wisdom of St. John Paul II, DeWolf argues that the future of AI will not be decided by technology alone, but by the moral vision that guides it.
He proposes four essential principles for the ethical adoption of AI:
• Honor the human person
• Strengthen community
• Elevate work
• Steward creation
As businesses and societies race to embrace artificial intelligence, David challenges leaders to pursue excellence and innovation while remaining grounded in truth, human dignity, and the common good.
"The world does not need another technology revolution. It needs a moral one."
