In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

🌊 Marine biologist Mads St Clair is calling out the scourge of bottom-trawl fishing in UK seas. But there’s still hope! Because our ocean can recover, if we let it. Take action with us today against bottom trawling in marine protected areas!

🚨The UK Govt is asking the public to give their thoughts on whether they should extend bottom trawling bans in 41 English protected areas. 🌊 This is our chance! Use your voice to help kick this wasteful, destructive practice out of ocean havens! 👇 only.one/act/uk-mpa-consulta…
