DMA Magazine Explores Artificial Intelligence and the Salesian Charisma in New Issue
The third issue of the magazine Da Mihi Animas (DMA) examines how artificial intelligence and modern technology intersect with the Salesian mission. Published in Rome, the latest edition focuses on the theme “Go… in a changing world,” following previous issues dedicated to Santa Maria Troncatti and ministry among the poor.
According to the publication, both eras raise the same question regarding human dignity. While artificial intelligence can analyze, predict, and signal, the publication notes that the decisive step remains human. The machine sees, but the educator accompanies.
Digital Thresholds of the Salesian Mission
Sister Ausilia De Siena, General Councillor for Social Communication, writes in the issue’s editorial that educators must read the current era with discernment and listen deeply to young people. The educational system of Don Bosco and Mother Mazzarello prioritizes the person, the relationship, and trust in individual potential. The magazine argues that new technologies do not threaten the Salesian charism; instead, they reveal it, highlighting aspects of ministry that algorithms cannot replace, such as giving presence and generating trust in real life.
The current thematic cycle, “New maps for the mission,” spans the year leading up to the 150th anniversary of the first missionary departure of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians. Multimedia extensions and digital copies of the publication in seven languages are available through the official Rivista DMA website, which also houses an archive of editions published since 2006.
