Under the title \u201cBabel or Truth? How AI Works,\u201d participants tried prompts on their own phones, compared answers, and tested real against manipulated images and videos.<\/p>\n<p>Auxiliary Bishop Josef St\u00fcbi of Basel, the conference\u2019s media bishop, stressed a vigilant and responsible approach: the Church should not close itself to new technologies, but must keep asking whether they serve human dignity and the common good. Speaking afterward to Vatican News, he said the Church must lead formation and awareness-raising, because many people fear that AI could slip beyond human control.<\/p>\n<p>St\u00fcbi linked the Swiss work to Pope Leo XIV\u2019s encyclical <em>Magnifica Humanitas<\/em>, which treats AI as a call to careful responsibility rather than a mere warning. Questions raised for church life included AI in administration and in preaching: where the limits lie, and what rules can be set. EPFL professor Rachid Guerraoui explained how algorithms work; Vatican News\u2019 Mario Galgano moderated; RKZ president Roland Loos closed by urging digital maturity and personal responsibility for everyone, not only experts. Insights from the evening are to be brought to the Swiss bishops.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bischoefe.ch\/zwischen-babel-und-wahrheit-ki-verstehen-ausprobieren-und-kritisch-pruefen\/\">Swiss Bishops\u2019 Conference \u2013 Zwischen Babel und Wahrheit (3 November 2026)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/it\/chiesa\/news\/2026-11\/ia-vescovo-svizzero-stubi-chiesa-sia-guida-nella-formazione.html\">Vatican News (IT) \u2013 IA, un vescovo svizzero: la Chiesa sia guida nella formazione<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/de\/kirche\/news\/2026-11\/schweiz-weihbischof-stuebi-ki-kirche-bildung-veranstaltung-rkz.html\">Vatican News (DE) \u2013 Schweizer Medienbischof \u00fcber KI und Bildungsarbeit<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Auxiliary Bishop Josef St\u00fcbi says the Church in Switzerland must lead AI education and set clear ethical limits, following a hands-on evening in Bern on 3 November 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2088,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","nfd_image_url":"","nfd_onboarding_generated":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[157],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-trending-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2088"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7530"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7530\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7532,"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7530\/revisions\/7532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
