TAC Alumni Attend Napa Institute AI Conference
Ten Thomas Aquinas College alumni attended the Napa Institute’s 2025 recent Faith and Business Conference to get a better sense of the role artificial intelligence is taking in the workplace and consider its use from a Catholic perspective.
This year’s conference, held in New York City, focused on “The Promise and Perils of AI,” in response to Pope Leo XIV’s call for Catholics to research and reflect on artificial intelligence as it rises in prominence, popularity, and power. It kicked off on the Tuesday before the conference with a massive Eucharistic procession through downtown Manhattan, with Christ leading over 5,000 Catholics as witnesses to His glory. Over the rest of the week, attendees heard from leading AI experts, as well as prominent theologians, and learned about the technology’s potential, positive uses, and dangers, and considered the Church’s teachings on intellect and genuine creative acts.
Notable Thomas Aquinas College alumni at the conference included moral theologian Pia de Solenni (’93), Wyoming Catholic College president Kyle Washut (’07), and retired Apple executive Nathan Haggard (’99). Brought together by work, chance, and a common interest in uniting faith and business, the 10 alumni in attendance were pleasantly surprised to find each other as they sought a deeper understanding of AI and its practical, ethical, and moral implications.
“We all came away with the view that AI is a great tool that is extremely powerful to bring about harm or good, but ultimately, we have to control how we use it,” says Justin Alvarez (’97), business consultant, real estate attorney, and owner of The Alvarez Firm. “No matter how advanced AI gets, it will still need a human person with good judgement to oversee its use. So, demand for people with good critical thinking skills and an understanding of the human person — like alumni of Thomas Aquinas College — will become dramatically higher.”
