About this sermon
A recent report reveals that over 70% of teenagers use AI companions like ChatGPT for personal advice, emotional support, and everyday decision-making. One teen acknowledged that AI is a constant companion who “never gets bored with you.” According to Common Sense Media, 31% of teens say their AI conversations are as satisfying or more satisfying than talking to real friends, while 33% have discussed serious issues with AI rather than a person. Paul Steidler, Senior Fellow at the Lexington Institute and tech policy expert, explores whether this comes as a surprise, whether parents should be concerned, and what the Catholic Church teaches about AI. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
