Maryland’s Catholic bishops provide a framework for responding to the rapid growth of artificial intelligence in a new pastoral letter, “The Face of Christ in a Digital Age,” released to coincide with Pentecost.

 In their letter, the bishops ask, “Will we allow technology to form us in its image — or will we shape it according to the Gospel?”
