"I first met bishop Paul Tighe, Secretary of the Pontifical Council for Culture, in April of 2019, when he came to Santa Clara University for a meeting of Chinese and Western scholars on the topic of AI. Since then, he and I have worked together on two main projects: gathering scholars at Catholic universities to discuss topics involving AI and gathering Catholic leaders in technology who are trying to help AI be developed and used ethically. Bishop Paul Tighe is one of the leading figures at the Vatican when it comes to AI. This interview was conducted in mid-December of 2021. It provides at this particular point in time. Conditions are changing rapidly. The interview should be read as light-hearted, at times humorous, yet also serious (Bishop Tighe has an Irish gift for that mixture). It has been edited for clarity and length; footnotes have been added to provide further information." (Introduction)
