Ritratt: Ian Noel Pace – Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta Messaġġ tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Mons Joseph Galea-Curmi
Meta nitkellmu fuq l-Intelliġenza Artifiċjali, m’aħniex qed nitkellmu fuq possibbiltà ’l bogħod. Diġà tinsab preżenti fid-djar tagħna, fil-postijiet tax-xogħol, fl-iskejjel, fl-isptarijiet, u fil-proċessi ta’ teħid ta’ deċiżjonijiet.
L-Intelliġenza Artifiċjali tista’ tgħinna nfejqu, nedukaw, nikkomunikaw u ngħixu b’mod aktar effiċjenti. Iżda, jekk titħalla mingħajr gwida etika, tista’ wkoll iżżid l-inugwaljanzi, tħawwad ir-responsabbiltà, timmanipula l-kuxjenzi, u tnaqqas id-dinjità tal-persuna umana… Read more »

The Archdiocese of Malta urges policymakers to manage the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence in a way that protects people – not replaces them – to ensure workers and vulnerable communities are not left behind.
In a position paper entitled ‘Ethical Adoption of AI: the position of the Archdiocese of Malta’, the Church focuses on three key impact areas – education, the economy and culture – and calls for State-led incentives for businesses to retrain and redeploy employees affected by automation since “AI will revolutionise virtually all aspects of labour and the economy”… Read more »

On another occasion, Jesus began to teach by the sea. A very large crowd gathered around him so that he got into a boat on the sea and sat down. And the whole crowd was beside the sea on land.

Psalm: 23 (24):7,8,9,10
Gospel: Mark 3:31-35
The mother of Jesus and his brothers arrived at the house. Standing outside, they sent word to Jesus and called him. A crowd seated around him told him, “Your mother and your brothers and your sisters are outside asking for you.” But he said to them in reply, “Who are my mother and my brothers?”
And looking around at those seated in the circle he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Għażel tnejn u sebgħin oħra” (Lq 10:1). L-Evanġelju llum jurina meta Ġesù għażel numru ta’ nies, u “bagħathom tnejn tnejn qablu f’kull belt u post fejn kien sejjer imur hu” (Lq 10:1). L-ewwel ħaġa li tolqotna hu kif Ġesù għażel dawn it-tnejn u sebgħin “oħra”, jiġifieri dawn ma kinux l-appostli, it-tnax, imma kienu nies oħra li għażel Ġesù u li tahom missjoni… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Warrab lejn il-Galilija” (Mt 4:12) L-ewwel kliem tal-Evanġelju tal-lum, skont San Mattew, jurina lil Ġesù jwarrab. Arrestaw lil Ġwanni, u Ġesù, jgħid l-Evanġelju, “warrab lejn il-Galilija”. Mhux spiss li nsibu lil Ġesù jwarrab. Imma r-raġuni għaliex warrab ma kinetx għaliex kien qed jibża’, imma għaliex ra li hemm bżonn imur post ieħor fejn jista’ jaqdi l-missjoni tiegħu aħjar.
Fil-fatt, meta mar lejn il-Galilija, għandna hawnhekk il-kliem ikkwotat mill-Profeta Isaija: “Il-poplu li kien miexi fid-dlam, ra dawl kbir” (Isaija 9:1)… Read more »
