Fr. Chris Gault

Fr. Chris Gault, a Dominican priest and former doctor, delves into the implications of AI on the study process. He argues that while AI can process information, it lacks the ability to foster true understanding and virtues. Drawing on Plato, he warns that reliance on technology may diminish our intellectual depth. Gault emphasizes the unique, immaterial nature of human intellect and encourages a disciplined approach to learning, advocating for study as a pathway to wonder and fulfillment. He suggests using AI as a tool, not a substitute for genuine scholarly engagement.
