My guest this week is involved in an insanely innovative and interesting project with wide reaching implications in which they are training an #AI system on the #magisterial teachings of the #Catholic Church. We discuss some of the liabilities and opportunities that such a tool can offer the #Church in enabling her mission.

Matthew Sanders is the CEO of Longbeard, a digital technology and marketing agency, who is the force behind Magisterium AI. He has spent the last seven years in Rome and then Malta working with the Holy See and Pontifical universities to help them more effectively leverage digital technologies to promote the faith.

He's also the CEO of the Humanity 2.0 Foundation, which is leading a consortium of public, private, and faith leaders working to identify and remove impediments to human flourishing.
