What does it mean to be human in an age of AI?
Dignity. Embodiment. Love. Transcendence. Agency.
This is not a tech project.
This is about human formation in the age of AI.
Many conversations around artificial intelligence focus on the basics: safety, privacy, data security, and model transparency. But as AI becomes both more powerful and more ubiquitous, we must look to a deeper, faith-informed approach rooted in enduring Christian principles like Dignity, Embodiment, Love, Transcendence, and Agency. We need, as Pope Francis put it, a growth in human responsibility, values, and conscience that is proportionate to the advances posed by technology.
The Institute for Ethics and the Common Good at the University of Notre Dame is leading the development of DELTA to inspire and equip scholars, faith leaders, technologists, teachers, journalists, parents, and young emerging leaders to navigate this new world well.
