Health Calls - CHA Podcast Current Season

Health Calls, the official podcast of the Catholic Health Association, addresses timely issues that promote the common good and a more just, healthy society. In Season Five of Health Calls, thought leaders from Catholic health care, academia, public policy and other sectors explore how humanity can thrive amidst rapid technological change. 

Season 5: Episode 6 - Theology, Artificial Intelligence, and Catholic Health Care

As artificial intelligence is implemented into more and more aspects of health care, it can be difficult to keep up with the varying ethical considerations that arise. If Catholic health care is to thrive in this new era of technology, a robust theological perspective is necessary.

Dan Daly, Executive Director of the Center for Theology and Ethics in Catholic Health, returns to Health Calls to discuss how Catholic health providers can find theological guidance and ethical clarity on technological questions. He discusses Pope Francis’s perspective on AI, why human empathy is crucial, and why efficiency and profit cannot be the ministry’s ultimate goals.
