Register for Laudato si’ @ 10: The Promise & Peril of Technology 

October 15, 2025

7:00-8:30 PM

In-person and Online

This event is free and all are welcome. Registration is NOT required for those who plan to attend in person. 

For our mid-October dialogue, the Hank Center will convene (in partnership with John Carroll University) the sixth installment of our year-long celebration of Pope Francis' landmark encyclical, Laudato si' on its 10th anniversary. We welcome Eugene McCarraher and Christine Rosen to discuss "The Promise and Peril of Technology: Laudato si', AI, and the Experience of Being Human." Are there forms of technology that can help us, if not save us? What was Pope Francis on to in his critique of “technocratic paradigm”? What are the spiritual and social risks of a saturated digital culture? Of the "enchantment" and fetishization of AI? As ever, technology gives so many gifts, but digital technologies are a markedly different version in that they transform our sense of self and warp the boundaries between virtual and real. What are the costs? Who are we in an increasingly disembodied world?
