German Bishops' Conference meets in Fulda to discuss AI ethics and bioethics
The German Bishops' Conference is convening its autumn plenary assembly in Fulda from September 28 to October 1. A central focus of the meeting is the first encyclical from Pope Leo XIV, which establishes strict guidelines for the use of Artificial Intelligence. The bishops aim to reconcile religious ethics with technical advancements, addressing risks such as manipulation and the impact of AI on human coexistence.
In addition to technology, the assembly will address several critical ethical and social issues. These include the protection of human life from beginning to end, covering topics such as surrogacy, organ donation, and assisted suicide. The 59 bishops are also scheduled to discuss the democratic common good in Germany, the processing of sexual abuse cases, and other contemporary social challenges.
