Meet the Silicon Valley Priest Helping Vatican Push for Ethical AI
Santa Clara University's Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, with support from and collaboration with the Centre for Digital Culture of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Culture and Education, launched the Institute for Technology Ethics and Culture and a handbook that offers tech companies and leaders "a practical roadmap" for dealing with the ethical issues and dilemmas in their industry – especially with the explosive rise of AI.
"The idea is that as an organization, whether you're small or large, we're calling you to action," McGuire said. "Here's a document that you can literally operationalize inside your organization. It's a how-to, a checklist. It has different ethical lenses. It's a great starting place."
Fr. Brendan McGuire, ITEC steering committee member, quoted by the San Francisco Examiner about the launch of the Institute for Technology, Ethics, and Culture (ITEC) and the "ITEC Handbook."
