Collegium Institute 10th Anniversary: Cura Personalis: Forming Moral Persons in the Age of ChatGPT
Published 2023-12-18
Questions: This panel is meant to help us think about the distinctive opportunity and perhaps comparative advantage of Centers for Christian thought and humanistic inquiry in the moral formation of college students during our new ChatGPT era. That is, does the Christian intellectual tradition offer us an understanding of the human person and our flourishing that enables us to continue thinking clearly about the ends of education when our digital servers seem to be able to do more and more thinking (and writing) for us? How so? What should an education be focused on now and must any adjustments be made? Are we missing anything significant by making “creativity” the preeminent marker of academic excellence and outsourcing other more “robotic” aspects of learning to machines? How does the most recent digital revolution perhaps only reinforce longer-term developments in higher education, and which this current moment might offer us a chance to reconsider and address in some way?
