Episode Details

Fr. Eamonn McCarthy and Matthias Conroy conclude their reading of Pope Leo XIV’s message for the 60th World Day of Social Communications. This second half turns to AI literacy: the need for education at all levels of society so that people can recognise AI for the tool it is rather than anthropomorphising it, protect their own images and voices from deep fakes and digital fraud, understand algorithmic bias and the economics of the AI industry, and validate AI-generated information against external sources.

Matthias raises the troubling reality of “dead schools” where AI writes lesson plans, AI writes essays, and AI grades them, with human interaction almost absent; while Fr Eamonn shares about a priest generating homilies using AI. The document’s closing line — “We need faces and voices to speak for people again” — resonates particularly on a station built on human voices. Next week the series turns to Pope Paul VI’s prophetic Humanae Vitae.
