MAGNI (International Conference on Mapping AI, Gospel, and Next-Gen Innovation)
Rooted in the Latin word “magnus,” meaning “great” or “mighty,” the MAGNI Conference embodies a vision of magnifying the dialogue between artificial intelligence (AI), theology, and ethical innovation. As AI rapidly transforms every aspect of human life, the Church and the global faith community are called to respond with wisdom, ensuring that these advancements remain aligned with Gospel values and ethical principles.
Why the Name MAGNI Matters
MAGNI not only reflects greatness but also symbolises the magnification of ethical discourse, theological reflection, and innovative thinking in the face of emerging technologies. The name carries a profound invitation — to amplify the Church’s voice in shaping AI’s moral framework, illuminate paths where faith and science converge, and empower the next generation to uphold justice, compassion, and human dignity in a rapidly evolving digital world.
The name Magni holds deep significance, drawing inspiration from the Latin word Magnificat, meaning “to magnify” or “to glorify.” The Magnificat is the hymn of praise sung by the Blessed Virgin Mary during her visit to Elizabeth, expressing her joy and gratitude for God’s greatness and mercy. Just as Mary magnified the Lord’s goodness, Magni symbolises the mission of reflecting and extending that same compassion and care, especially to those in need.
The Importance of the MAGNI Conference
The MAGNI Conference is a groundbreaking international gathering that serves as a catalyst for transformative conversations on:
- AI and Ethical Dilemmas: Exploring how AI influences human relationships, decision-making, and societal structures, while ensuring that technological advancements respect moral and spiritual values.
- Theology and Technology: Reflecting on how Gospel values can shape the future of AI, guiding it to serve the common good rather than undermine human dignity.
- Next-Gen Innovation: Empowering future generations of theologians, technologists, and thought leaders to engage with AI responsibly, ensuring that faith and ethics remain central in the digital age.
Meaningful Implementation of AI in Pastoral Evangelisation
In an era where technology permeates every facet of human life, AI and next-generation technologies present an extraordinary opportunity to revitalize pastoral evangelization and extend the reach of the Gospel in unprecedented ways. MAGNI explores how AI can:
✅ Personalize Faith Formation: AI-driven platforms can offer tailored catechesis, adapting content to individual learning styles and spiritual needs, ensuring a deeper connection with faith.
✅ Enhance Outreach and Engagement: Through AI-powered chatbots, virtual assistants, and social platforms, the Church can engage with the faithful 24/7, providing instant answers, prayers, and guidance.
✅ Foster Community and Connection: AI can facilitate deeper community connections through predictive analytics that identify pastoral needs, allowing clergy to address the spiritual and emotional well-being of their communities effectively.
✅ Amplify Digital Evangelization: AI technologies can analyze social trends and optimize digital content, helping the Church extend its reach, particularly among younger generations who engage primarily in digital spaces.
✅ Bridge Language and Cultural Gaps: Through advanced natural language processing, AI can break down barriers, ensuring that the Gospel message transcends linguistic and cultural boundaries.
