AI for Flourishing

This anthology challenges the idea that emerging technologies develop independently of human intention or oversight, making a compelling case for re-embedding AI within frameworks of human flourishing and moral responsibility. Featuring essays by philosophers, theologians, economists, technologists, and policy experts, The Common Good in the Age of AI explores how classical traditions such as Aristotelian ethics and Catholic Social Teaching can guide today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape. Contributors critique the ideology of efficiency and progress divorced from social good, and propose concrete strategies for reorienting corporate governance, software design, and regulatory structures toward the common good. With essays addressing topics from healthcare and education to tech investing and AI risk governance, this volume offers a timely, multidisciplinary response to one of the defining challenges of our era.
