We are pleased to welcome our next exciting guest speaker as part of the Helder Camara Lecture series: Kim Daniels, Director of the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life at Georgetown University (USA).

Join us for an evening with Kim Daniels as she speaks on the topic "AI, Pope Leo and the future of human dignity".

A lawyer by training, Ms Daniels served for 10 years as a member of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication until 2026, and during the Synod on Synodality from 2021-2024 was an expert participant and coordinator of the study group that focused on the Church’s mission in the digital age.

She has also served as spokesperson for the US Conference of Catholic Bishops and a consultor to its Committee for Religious Liberty.

She has practiced as a lawyer with a particular focus on religious liberty and healthcare, advocating for the rights of healthcare workers to have “conscious protections”.

She writes widely and is a public speaker and commentator on how the Church’s teachings intersect with public life, on issues such as immigration and women’s leadership in the Church. But her particular focus is the importance of Catholic Social Thought in the digital age, especially the development of AI.

Registrations are essential as places are limited.
