Photo: Facebook \/ Denis Vlad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Lack of love<\/h2>\n<p>According to him, many young people begin to see AI as a form of relational alternative. This happens precisely because of the absence of stable adult role models.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYoung people lack the presence of adults who are spiritually and emotionally healthy in their lives, in the deepest sense. Parents are extremely busy and are left with very little time to devote to their own children.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In this context, the teacher highlighted a concerning trend reported by pupils.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThey turn to direct dialogue with AI and even describe it as a safer alternative, because it does not judge and does not share what is said with people close to them.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At the same time, Denis Vlad noted that some young people view artificial intelligence with fear, \u201cbelieving that AI brings about the end of the world,\u201d and observed a growing sense of panic surrounding this issue.<\/p>\n<h2>The challenges of technology<\/h2>\n<p>To provide a balanced framework for understanding the subject, the teacher chose to\u00a0<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">present it in a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?ref=embed_video&amp;v=1367162938481757\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">short video<\/a> posted on social media, covering<\/span>\u00a0both theological and historical perspectives. He drew inspiration from the thought of Saints Paisios of Mount Athos and <a href=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/en\/patriarch-daniel-time-eternity-dumitru-staniloae-new-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dumitru St\u0103niloae<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTechnology is like a knife: you can use it to cut bread, or you can use it to hurt someone. In other words, technology itself is neutral,\u201d he explained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Denis Vlad compared the current technological stage to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/event\/Industrial-Revolution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Industrial Revolution<\/a>, emphasising that humanity has passed through profound transformations before. Moreover, humanity was not destroyed by them; instead, it adapted and reinvented itself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew discoveries oblige us to become human again; they oblige us to bring back to the centre the extraordinary qualities of humanity,\u201d the teacher underlined.<\/p>\n<h2>The difference between human beings and artificial intelligence<\/h2>\n<p>Special emphasis is placed on responsibility in the use of AI:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI believe it is important to use AI \u2013 and I stress the idea of using it \u2013 and not allow ourselves to be used by it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He also offered practical examples, explaining that artificial intelligence can be a useful tool for research or proofreading, but not a substitute for personal thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Denis Vlad highlighted the fundamental difference between the human person and artificial intelligence \u2013 a difference that cannot be erased by technological progress.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNo matter how far AI may surpass us in storing and processing information, it will never even come close to us in the power to love, because we are \u2013 and will remain \u2013 children of God.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe challenge of today is to become human again and to place humanity back at the centre,\u201d the religious education teacher concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Pexels<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/basilicanews\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-556506\" src=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Basilica-Telegram-channel-banner-890x149.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Basilica-Telegram-channel-banner-890x149.jpeg 890w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Basilica-Telegram-channel-banner-360x60.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Basilica-Telegram-channel-banner-768x128.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Basilica-Telegram-channel-banner.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 440px, (max-width: 768px) 354px, 890px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A religious education teacher told Basilica.ro that the real problem facing young people today is not artificial intelligence.
