Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to a set of technologies based on advanced computing power enabled to perform activities heretofore thought to be unique to human beings. Oftentimes AI significantly augments what the best endowed humans can do and, because of these advantages, there is a growing tendency to replace human agents with AI in many fields. However, the biggest challenges arise from human-AI interactions, especially in the workplace.
All work –including, of course, business– is ethically significant as “personal action” (actus personae). A proper ordering of work entails that the subjective dimension be prioritized over the objective dimension, as Catholic Social Teaching reminds us. Clearly, like all technology, AI belongs to the objective dimension of work, which ought to be subordinated to the human or moral agent.
As AI moves from research labs to society at large by the hand of business, we’d like to inquire the myriad of ways in which work is changed, diminished, or enhanced, and how it impacts workers and their communities. In particular, we’d like to explore how engagement with AI can help workers become more virtuous, make work more meaningful and decent. How can AI be a help, not a hindrance to human beings responding to their transcendent call or vocation to self-giving, inspired by God’s love or charity?
