The EdTech point 👏🏾 If the systems being deployed in learning environments carry the values and blind spots of their creators, then the question is not just what AI teaches but who is equipped to critically mediate it. That falls on educators and managers. And most of them have not been prepared for that responsibility. We talk a lot about AI governance at the policy and platform level. We talk very little about governance at the human layer, the people who sit between the algorithm and the learner, or between the algorithm and the employee. Quiet credibility is exactly right. And it has to be built at every level of an organization, not just at the top.

Such an important reminder. Emotional intelligence is often talked about as a “soft skill,” yet in practice it is one of the biggest differentiators between leaders who simply deliver results and those who build sustainable, high-performing teams.

Paulina Krukowska Your leniency towards an organisation that has committed crimes against humanity ever since its existence began might be appreciated by fellow bigots. Decent people do not cheer for such a tribe of misfits. "Catholic edicts: Confessions on Saturday. Absolution on Sunday. At it again on Monday." - H. G. Wells

We often assume technological progress automatically leads to social progress. History tells a very different story. Technology only lifts everyone when institutions evolve alongside it and actively manage the transition.

Strong clarification because emotional intelligence is often misunderstood as “being nice” or emotionally soft. The most accurate point here is that EQ is fundamentally about regulation and awareness understanding your emotions without letting them control your decisions, communication, or leadership under pressure.

Who benefits is the real question.

Such a great breakdown of what EQ is

Jesus, Paulina Krukowska the Pope does not need to join LinkedIn! Let me remind you, for that matter, that Jesus only needed 12 followers.

The dignity justification in the encyclical works for about 30% of the population. For the rest of the world, the non-Christian world, it is provincial. To address this, I propose we establish “the floor” of human dignity, based on shared biology of the species, a biology that predates all sectarian and secular traditions by about 300,000 years. My reaction is on my page for those interested.

Mila F. Luke Robert Mason it brought your attention ;) Love this comment!

Interesting point. External oversight matters, but I think the next challenge is what kind of working systems we build around AI itself. AI should optimize for what it does best: processing information and handling scale. Humans should be freed to do what humans do best: judgment, creativity, trust, and meaning. We have a unique opportunity right now to build systems where both operate in their strengths rather than creating environments where people slowly become operators inside an efficiency machine.

So true. People never wunder why they are pushing Ai. It's not for the greater good, only to get richer and powerfull for an elite bunch. So Ai isn't evil, the people who are pushing it are... To get more control on you, every day, go figure. So why help them succeed.

Not directly answering your question, but eventually this is also what might make a few companies more powerful than governments.

Thank you for this thoughtful write up. While I didn’t have a minor in religion, I have a certificate course in theology and having thought at a Catholic seminary for seven (7) years which shaped me both intellectually and spiritually; this is in addition to seeing myself as a good daughter of the Church who enjoys reading Encyclicals, i have also been curious and puzzled about the avalanche of commentaries on the document. So I agree with your observation. I’ve queued my study of the document to be tomorrow.

I'm a bit peeved about the analogy. RAG = Senses + memory retrieval There, now it's all actual body parts, granted that's harder to visualize.

John Reeks I have mixed feeling on the impact on education. I have used LLMs to teach myself a lot of new things. It is like having an unreliable teacher that injects random errors in what they teach. And in some tasks it can be prompted in a way it simplifies human cross-checking. At the same time when an undergrad student confesses they have not read anything since chatgpt came out, or when it is obvious that some PhD students are not progressing due to it, the danger is obvious. We need a new pedagogy. Banning and monitoring in various forms will be part of it, but also dedicated technology developed in the university (those that have the money are already doing it), maybe hardware based solutions (like the monitoring laptop I described), and teaching how to use it properly. I have more problems with the ethics of using commercial models. I want the university to have ethical locally installed AI we can use without exploiting workers, damaging climate, and contributing to a political economics system that is abhorrent. I think we can figure out the pedagogy, if the ethics is fixed. But Covid did a number on the tech autonomy of our universities that are now all captured by microsoft or google. So unclear the UK can drive it.

Nick O'Rourke, taking over Taiwan doesn't mean taking over its chip prowess.

Could it be that some of the summaries were produced using ai
