CWN Editor's Note: The chairman of the US bishops’ Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development issued a Labor Day statement calling for renewed prayer and action, amid AI’s rise, “to building a future in which every worker finds dignity, security, and purpose.”
After praising AI’s potential positive benefits, Archbishop Borys Gudziak warned that “in patient care, there is a risk that AI could attempt to replace human compassion, or supplant human expertise in medical evaluation. In many industries, a number of workers could lose their jobs, impacting families and communities.”
“We must advocate for the responsible use of technology, robust protection for those vulnerable to exploitation, a social safety net that allows people to avoid the cycle of poverty, and fair treatment of all workers,” he added. “The government should address the challenges of AI with a sound legal and regulatory framework.”
