Created in 1989 by Fr. Charles Delhez sj, the "What to think about...?" collection celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. A conference has been organized on this occasion at the Forum Saint-Michel, in Brussels, on 24 October, on the latest work in the collection. Its theme? Robotics and artificial intelligence.

Published by Jesuit Publishing, the "What to think about...?" series aims to propose a Christian reflection on a question relating to current religious, spiritual or social events, in sync with today's climate and issues. In affordable language, it offers objective, scientific, sociological, sociological and philosophical references and a theological analysis that allows the reader to find the elements of personal discernment.

- "Paranormal Experiences" (François Mathijsen)

- "The Holy Shroud" (Stone of Riedmatten)

- "Saint Paul" (P. Philippe Wargnies sj and Mgr Pierre Warin)

A 100th issue on robotics and artificial intelligence

The 100th issue of the collection was written by Dominique Lambert, physicist and philosopher, professor at the Jesuit University of Namur, on the theme of robotics and artificial intelligence. In this booklet, the author shows, from examples, how and why these autonomous robots raise many epistemological, legal, ethical and anthropological questions, which must be answered while avoiding both dangerous technophobia and incoherent technolatry.

A conference was held on Thursday 24 October at the Forum Saint-Michel in Brussels.
