The Catholic college experience helps ensure that graduates pursue meaningful lives and are better prepared to use AI ethically, as found in the St. Mary's University Center for Catholic Studies’ third Holistic Impact Report. 🌐💡
Led by Jason King, Ph.D., Beirne Chair and Director of the Center, HIR 3.0 found that more graduates of Catholic colleges and universities:
- Use AI at least daily
- Feel that their institution at least moderately prepared them to use AI, with
- 72% of graduates say they understand their life’s meaning, and
- 36% of graduates believe AI will have a significant or transformative benefit for society.
