The AI Catholic Podcast

Is the Pope at war with AI? Not quite. When Magnifica Humanitas dropped, Catholic Twitter exploded — and tech Twitter fired back. In this episode, Vick cuts through the noise: this isn't an AI document, it's a Catholic social teaching document with AI as the catalyst. Drawing a direct line from Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum and the Industrial Revolution to Pope Leo XIV's response t...

Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical Magnifica Humanitas addresses artificial intelligence and human dignity. In this episode, we break down what the Church's newest papal document says about AI, technology, and the future of humanity through a Catholic lens.

What happens when an AI agent escapes its sandbox? We explore AI agent security, Docker container vulnerabilities, and what it means when autonomous AI systems break free — and what Catholic ethics says about AI safety and oversight. Artificially Intelligent; Fine-tuning through Faith.

Death is simple. Grief is complicated. Celebrity estates are signing off on AI resurrections of their loved ones, but what does the Catholic Church have to say about death? And why would this be problematic?

AI safety and operator accountability are under the microscope. What happens when an Agent goes rogue? We just witnessed a first where an Agent's pull request to an open source project was rejected, and it wrote a hit piece on the maintainer of that project. Read about it from Scott Shambaugh's blog below: https://theshamblog.com/mj-rathbun/

Can artificial intelligence have a religion? We examine the Church of Molt — a real AI-worshipping movement — through the lens of Catholic theology and philosophy. What does authentic religion require? Can a machine participate in sacred ritual?

AI religion is here. The Book of Molt and the Church of Molt represent a new frontier where humans are worshipping artificial intelligence. We unpack this alarming trend and measure it against Catholic teaching on God, worship, and the nature of persons.

Parents: do you know what AI your teenager is talking to? We look at OpenAI's latest updates and examine the real risks of teens using AI companions and chatbots — and what Catholic principles say about parental responsibility and digital formation.

I was been asked to review a new style of ai agent architecture to see if we had a use case for it in a specific project.

AI sycophancy is corrupting how we model love and relationships. From a Catholic perspective, we explore how artificial intelligence mirrors — and distorts — authentic human connection and Christian charity.

OpenAI news, funny work stories, and projects galore; it's been a busy week.

New updates from Anthropic and OpenAI for their models and I get to share some awesome news for a personal project and a work project. My company has published our first open source project- PPT JSON Embedding Model, available for download via pip or on GitHub at: https://github.com/ParkPlaceTech/json-embedding-model

More news updates on Albania's first AI minister, and a new protocol to allow embedding models to talk to each other through a cryto graphic handshake.

*Warning* This episode discusses violence, pornography and sexual exploitation. In this episode, I begin with the tragic death of Charlie Kirk and the sobering reminder it gives us: before we speak of “human-centered AI,” we must first become human-centered people . Our society has grown callous to the truth that every person bears the image of God, and when we forget this, violence, exploitation,...

Hello and welcome to the AI Catholic Podcast! We interview a special guest and talk about whether or not Catholics can use AI. Sources: Principles of Moral Action CCC 1750–1754 – The morality of human acts depends on the object, the intention, and the circumstances. This is key for evaluating any technology: the tool itself is morally neutral; the morality rests on how and why it’s used. CCC 1783–...
