Special Courses on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the Cilician Brotherhood Initiated by His Holiness Catholicos Aram I
At the initiative of His Holiness Catholicos Aram I, Catholicos of the Armenian Church, Holy See of Cilicia, and Honorary President of the Middle East Council of Churches (MECC), special courses on Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been launched for the members of the Cilician Brotherhood at the Catholicosate of the Holy See of Cilicia in Antelias, Lebanon.
Taking into consideration the steadily expanding development and application of technology, His Holiness Catholicos Aram I places particular importance on this field—not only in terms of its proper use, but also by examining and evaluating it from an ethical perspective. Guided by this approach, approximately two months ago, during his Pontifical Visit to the United States, His Holiness visited Silicon Valley—widely regarded as the global center of technological innovation—and held a full day of meetings with senior executives and experts from various technological sectors and companies.
In view of the rapid advancement and widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence within the broader technological landscape, His Holiness Catholicos Aram I has established intensive AI courses for the members of the Cilician Brotherhood. His Holiness personally participates in the courses, which are conducted by Shant Estephan, full‑time lecturer and the Coordinator of the Division of Mathematical Sciences (Computer Science and Mathematics) at Haigazian University.
