In May, a @CSIS expert said: the Catholic Church has accomplished what U.S. politicians have failed to do: ground the national dialogue on AI in broader questions about what it means to be human
Last week, the @LeadershipRound Summit asked Catholic leaders what that this moment demands of us. 5 themes emerged👇

At the 2026 Catholic Partnership Summit, we brought Catholic leaders and AI experts together to grapple with this question and consider the Church’s role in a rapidly changing world.
Five themes emerged, with implications for how we lead, form others, and exercise responsibility within our institutions.

We’re looking forward to listening, learning from experts, and exchanging ideas about leading strong and vibrant Catholic institutions at the Catholic Partnership Summit, October 20–21.
Every decision to use AI is a decision about responsibility. Catholic leaders need to understand its limits, know where human judgment must remain, and consider who should help shape decisions about its use.
At the Catholic Partnership Summit on October 21, Matthew Harvey Sanders, Ashwin Bharath, and Fr. William O’Neill, S.J., Ph.D., will discuss what Catholic leaders need to understand before adopting AI, what safeguards can guide its use, and how local communities can help shape decisions.
Moderated by Leadership Roundtable Managing Partner, @kportermagee, the conversation will consider how Catholic leaders can keep human judgment and the Church’s mission at the center as they decide how AI should be used.

@kportermagee: "Knowledge without understanding is, in the end, knowledge without meaning."
What happens when AI moves faster than human understanding?
How do we keep the human person at the center?
Strong institutions need a clear sense of what they are here to do and the judgment to make hard decisions in service of it.
At the @LeadershipRound Summit on October 21, Christian Dallavis, Fr. Peter Wojcik, and Sr. Teresa Maya, CCVI, Ph.D., will discuss how leaders can clarify what their mission asks of them now, turn that understanding into practice, and sustain it through change.

A clear vision helps leaders make hard decisions and build institutions strong enough to carry the mission forward.
At the Leadership Roundtable Summit’s panel on October 20, Betsy Bohlen, Bishop Lawrence Sullivan, and Jim Perry will reflect on the work of strengthening the Archdiocese of Chicago. They’ll explore what it takes to lead a large, complex institution, how clergy and lay leaders can work together to support renewal, and which lessons may travel to Catholic institutions of every size.
