Exploring the Future of Education: Leaders in Catholic Education Help Catholic Schools Embrace Artificial Intelligence

COLUMBIA, Md., Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In the ever-evolving landscape of education, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force, analogous to the revolutionary impact of computers and the internet. Recognizing this paradigm shift, Catholic Virtual, a leading online learning solutions provider within the Hudson Global Scholars Network, is spearheading an initiative to empower Catholic schools in navigating this transformative journey.

Rob Birdsell, President of Catholic Virtual, and Dan O'Keefe, President of Cardinal Spellman High School in the Bronx, NY, started by exploring the synergy of humanism and AI in Catholic education in a recent white paper. They uncovered the fusion of humanism and modern technology, suggesting ways teachers can use AI to engage students' hearts and minds.

To further support students' understanding of AI, Catholic Virtual and all schools in the Hudson Global Scholars Network offer an online high school course, Artificial Intelligence in the World. This comprehensive course, available for individual enrollment or through schools, explores the concepts, tools, and building blocks of AI. Using chatbots and hands-on activities, students gain insights into AI's global applications for decision-making, problem-solving, and its ethical impacts.

"At Hudson Global Scholars, we are committed to providing students with cutting-edge educational experiences, and Artificial Intelligence in the World is a testament to that commitment. This course not only equips students with foundational knowledge but also fosters critical thinking and ethical awareness in the rapidly evolving field of AI," said Bruce Davis, CEO of Hudson Global Scholars.
