(OSV News) — Colleges stand on the front lines of the artificial intelligence debate, balancing how to address students that rely on chatbots to write papers and weighing how to best prepare students to enter a new workforce supported by AI.

Benedictine College, a liberal arts school in Atchison, Kansas, announced Sept. 7 that it would be launching the Center for Technology and Human Dignity under the patronage of the recently canonized St. Carlos Acutis.
