The final step of making A.I. requires giving the system certain questions we know the answer to and some questions we do not know the answer to and then checking their answers against reality. Fr. Fessio explains how A.I. ultimately depends entirely on humans and thereby cannot self-replicate.

Father Fessio explains how A.I. is not conscious but can be used to autocomplete and predict certain answers. Then through a process of post-training, certain experts are brought in to ask A.I. a series of questions to verify the answers and tweak the algorithms so that the right answers are provided.

Father Fessio proceeds to explain the process by which A.I. “learns.” He highlights the difference between the human process of learning and computer’s statistical pattern recognition process.

Our recently elected Pope Leo XIV has already made several comments about the dangers of artificial intelligence. So if you want to learn more about A.I., join Fr. Fessio explains the first of four steps of artificial intelligence—pretraining—which requires data to be collected and tokenization.

Continuing with his connected thoughts on artificial intelligence, Fr. Fessio explains how a computer that stores A.I. is like a library that knows nothing.

The famous Latin expression “Opus Dei” has connections to several orders. Fr. Fessio explains these associations and the Latin meaning behind it.

Fr. Fessio explains St. Augustine’s famous words describing how God is more deeply in us than we are to ourselves.
