Theology and Teaching in Light of ChatGPT

                                                                  Tuesday, April 4th, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. (ET)





4:00 - 5:30 p.m. (PT)   5:00 - 6:30 p.m. (MT)    6:00 - 7:30 p.m. (CT)


Following its launch in November '22, the new AI chatbot ChatGPT has presented some significant and rather daunting challenges to educators at all levels. Our spring virtual event will take up the question of how ChatGPT and similar technologies challenge us, or invite us to new forms of teaching and assessment, precisely as Catholic theologians and teachers of theology. Is this new tool an opportunity for theologians to embrace ‘the modern world’, à la Gaudium et Spes? Does it risk stifling the human task of knowing, à la Lonergan? And how do we talk to students about all this?
