As we embark upon the Solemnity of Corpus Christi (and as I anxiously await the mark from my JCL comprehensive exam), here’s a very important canon for our reflection.
Seriously, this is so incredibly rich and beautiful.
I invite your prayers for myself, classmates, and professors as we undertake the oral comprehensive examination for the licentiate in canon law (JCL).
Mine is in just over two hours. 😅🙏
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.
@jdflynn@BackwardsFeet Agreed (this is good studying for my comps!).
As I understand: if the faculty is not revoked (c. 974), they'd be prohibited from exercising it (c. 1331 §1, 1º / "must be prevented" if they do, §2, 1º) except in danger of death (c. 1335 §2). Presuming it'd be a declared censure.
As I near the completion of my licentiate in canon law, I've received my comprehensive exam schedule.
The one hour exam (😵💫) is June 5, 8:45am SK time, via Zoom. Two profs for the first half and two others for the last half.
I invite your prayers for us students and our profs!
Rome loves dates, feasts, anniversaries.
Magnifica Humanitas was signed on May 15, 135 years after Rerum Novarum
But the closing line for Mary, Mother of the Church may also explain why it was formally released today:
In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas

“ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes; it must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it.” - Pope Leo XIV
Amen!
