And he will be giving the keynote and he leads the Pontifical Council for Life, which oversees AI for the Vatican.

One of the key questions that I think came out of my class is what does it mean to be human?

And there's some things that are uniquely human.

And just to leave you with a message of hope, the dean of the school when I was at Stanford, I had coffee with him and he said, what has surprised you most about teaching?

And I told him, what has really surprised me is I have been bemoaning, perhaps not unlike others, where we're heading as a society, the impact of screens on mental acuity and values of the next generation of people.

But what I discovered is when I opened up the conversation in my classroom,

a couple of weeks ago is the students are very values driven.

And a lot of the core values that we hold to be true about the good in human nature and the things that we can fear about human nature

they carry forward and the next generation is ready to take them on.

They, they, they care about these things too.

And so the screens and COVID and, you know, and, and social media and all of those things have not stripped those values away.

And, and it's, it's, it has been very encouraging and inspiring for me to see, see them prepare to take, take the helm.

Oh, you're amazing.

And the people you have are amazing.

So I'm humbled and grateful that you would have me.
