'Preserving human voices and faces' Conference organised by the Dicastery for Communication

To mark the World Day of Social Communications, the Dicastery for Communication has organised an international conference at the Pontifical Urbaniana University on Thursday, 21 May.

The theme “Preserving human voices and faces” echoes the message of Pope Leo XIV for the World Day and highlights the spirit in which the organisers have invited figures from academia, institutional representatives, high-tech experts, and journalists to engage in dialogue on Artificial Intelligence and its impact on the lives of individuals, communities, and nations.

A moment of reflection and dialogue

The event, in collaboration with the Dicastery for Culture and Education and the John XXIII Foundation, will take place throughout the day on 21 May in the main hall of the Pontifical University.

It aims to be a moment of reflection and dialogue in response to the Pope’s exhortation to “cherish the gift of communication as the deepest truth of humanity, to which all technological innovation should also be oriented.”

The conference will be opened by Paolo Ruffini, Prefect of the Dicastery for Communication, and Cardinal José Tolentino de Mendonça, Prefect of the Dicastery for Culture and Education.
