美国天主教主教团公布人工智能工作组成员：圣何塞主教坎图任主席，回应教宗良《伟大的人性》通谕
美国华盛顿——美国天主教主教团（USCCB）10月16日公布「人工智能时代维护人类尊严工作组」的任命名单：七名主教获任命为成员，另有三名平信徒出任顾问。该工作组于9月16日由主教团行政委员会一致通过设立，由硅谷所在地圣何塞教区主教奥斯卡·坎图（Oscar Cantù）担任主席。
新获任命的主教包括路易斯维尔总主教谢尔顿·法布尔（Shelton Fabre），他同时担任主教团国内正义与人类发展委员会主席，曾在其劳动节声明中谈及人工智能对经济与工作的重塑。平信徒顾问之一是乔治城大学「天主教社会思想与公共生活倡议」主任金·丹尼尔斯（Kim Daniels），她曾于2016至2026年任梵蒂冈传播部成员，并参与2021至2024年世界主教会议进程。
主教团表示，工作组将强调人工智能必须服务于人类尊严与共同福祉，与前沿实验室、研究机构、学术中心及全美各利益相关方保持建设性持续对话，并协助美国天主教会忠实、审慎、有效地回应新兴技术带来的机遇与挑战；其任务还包括推动保护人类尊严、宗教自由、民主制度、工人、家庭与弱势群体的政策与实践。
工作组的设立源于教宗良在2026年关于人工智能的通谕《伟大的人性》（Magnifica Humanitas）中的呼吁——守护赋予人类的崇高尊严。丹尼尔斯表示，她很荣幸出任顾问，帮助推动教宗所描绘的社会、经济与政治秩序愿景，让每个人、特别是最弱小者，都能过上真正有尊严的生活。
U.S. Bishops Name Members of AI Task Force: San Jose Bishop Cantù Chairs Panel Responding to Pope Leo's Magnifica Humanitas
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) announced on October 16 the appointments to its Task Force on Preserving Human Dignity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: seven bishops named as members and three lay consultants. The task force, established on September 16 after unanimous approval by the bishops' administrative committee, is chaired by Bishop Oscar Cantù of San José, California, home to Silicon Valley.
The new appointees include Archbishop Shelton Fabre of Louisville, chair of the USCCB Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, who addressed AI in this year's Labor Day statement, highlighting the call to safeguard human dignity as artificial intelligence reshapes the economy and work. Among the lay consultants is Kim Daniels, director of Georgetown University's Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life, who served as a member of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication from 2016 to 2026 and as an expert participant in the 2021-24 Synod on Synodality.
According to the USCCB, the task force will emphasize that AI must serve human dignity and the common good, maintain constructive and ongoing dialogues with frontier labs, research organizations, academic centers and other stakeholders across the United States, and assist the Catholic Church in the United States in responding faithfully, prudently and effectively to the opportunities and challenges of emerging technologies. It will also work to promote policies and practices that protect human dignity, religious liberty, democratic institutions, workers, families and vulnerable populations.
The task force responds to Pope Leo's call in his 2026 encyclical on AI, Magnifica Humanitas, to safeguard the grandeur of humanity. "I am honored to serve as a consultant to this task force," Daniels said, describing the work as helping advance a social, economic and political order that allows everyone — particularly the weakest — to live a truly dignified life.
