A deep look at Artificial Intelligence
Issue 278 of Qüestions presents a fascinating monograph on Artificial Intelligence. Through this extensive publication, the magazine seeks to contribute to the main debates that have arisen as a result of the rise of Artificial Intelligence.
Exploring the origins and evolution of Artificial Intelligence
In this monograph, the origins, history and evolution of the various types of Artificial Intelligence are addressed. Some preconceived ideas are demystified, establishing a clear distinction between Artificial Intelligence and natural intelligence or human thought. In addition, the wide range of opportunities and risks that this technology can bring is analyzed.
Reflections on the ethical and religious implications
This monograph also proposes a deep reflection on the consequences of Artificial Intelligence in relation to ethical, theological, religious, spiritual and even ecclesial issues. The question arises: what happens to the knowledge of God, human values, the experience of believing and the soul in this technological context?
Diverse perspectives from expert authors
This monograph has the collaboration of authors from different disciplines and backgrounds, who contribute their reflections on Artificial Intelligence from various perspectives. They highlight, among others, the article by Jordi Torres, which identifies ten key concepts to understand this new technology, the article by Sara Lumbreras, which explores the differences between the human processes of belief and those that we can simulate through the machines, and the article by Miquel Àngel Prats, which offers key recommendations for an effective and ethical integration of Artificial Intelligence in the educational field.
Other featured content
In addition to the monograph, this issue of Qüestions includes other articles of interest. There are obituaries dedicated to figures such as Fr. Joan Botam, Fr. Pius Ramon Tragan and Dr. Gianni Vattimo, as well as articles that highlight his intellectual quality. Francisco Villar’s article on the health of adolescents and young people in the digital age and Salvador Cardús’ farewell lecture as a university professor, which reflects on the weakening of critical thinking, are also essential reading.
A magazine with a long tradition
Qüestions is a magazine that began its publication in Montserrat in 1958 and has maintained uninterrupted continuity for sixty-four years. With this third stage, the magazine adapts to the new cultural circumstances of a complex and diverse world, with the aim of connecting with potential readers and offering them an enriching cultural experience. Qüestions is consolidating itself as an influential reference in the field of Christian humanism, open to current affairs and future issues.
With this monograph on Artificial Intelligence, Qüestions continues its task of promoting knowledge and reflection on topics relevant to today’s society.
