AI TECHNOLOGY BELIEFS
OUR COMMUNITY AND AI
At Salpointe Catholic, we expect to utilize emerging technology in
ways that ethically augment human processes while retaining the
humanity that is central to our faith-based community. When used
appropriately, Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) can serve as a
valuable assistant, allowing us to lean into cultivating enduring
human qualities such as adaptability, creativity, collaboration,
communication, critical thinking, empathy, having a growth
mindset, and recognizing personal responsibility. The world of
higher education and future job markets will require our students
to be well-versed in the very best technological tools available.
Therefore, our teachers and students must be empowered with AI
literacy to effectively collaborate with AI as partners in learning and
innovation.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
1. Responsible Integration
Generative AI presents transformative potential for our community
if implemented thoughtfully. This means enhancing, rather than
displacing, our humanity, our growth, and our faith. AI can alleviate
administrative burdens and automate monotonous time-
consuming tasks. AI can also provide personalized learning
