Founded by Catholics, shaping the world.
Aware of the grave risks and challenges that technology can have upon the common good, compelled by our commitment to the Social Teaching of the Catholic Church, and driven by a desire to public discourse and debate, the Magnifica Humanitas Society was born. Our aim is to bring together like minded and interested persons, provide space for discussion and debate, and produce thought provoking material that centres the discourse on emerging technologies and AI in the Social Doctrine of the Church.
Consider becoming a member today, and be part of the growing discussion around the future of society in an AI enabled world.
