Using artificial intelligence in an educational way. This is what was achieved by Avvenire di Calabria and the Maria Ausiliatrice Institute of Reggio Calabria. The Church of Reggio is thus confirmed as the first diocese to integrate laboratories aimed at the educational use of artificial intelligence into its training courses.
They all have it aged between 11 and 13but they already know how to use Gpt Apps And create images with the most advanced artificial intelligence software. The students from the Middle schools of the Maria Ausiliatrice Institute of Reggio Calabria they have traveled a Artificial Intelligence training itinerary designed within the “Aula G” journalism laboratory cared for from the diocesan weekly of the Archdiocese of Reggio Calabria – Bova, Future of Calabria.

The first “Proofreader” App had already been released in January. Then, in February, Machine Learning sessions began to train six new artificial intelligence applications: the objective pursued is to support journalists in sharing their articles on social networks.
What are the six Social Mentor Gpt applications for? Let’s start with the top five. Each of them is specialized for sharing journalistic articles on a single Social Network. In detail, the app is available for Facebook, another for Instagram, yet another for X (formerly Twitter), those dedicated to LinkedIn and, the last one, designed to create posts for Threads. These Social Mentor Apps receive an article link from the user and automatically prepare four sharing drafts for the Social Network for which they are scheduled (only the LinkedIn App prepares two drafts instead of four).
The latest Gpt App, called Social Mentor One, is the “synthesis” of the first five. This, in fact, does not prepare four drafts for the same Social Network, but instead prepares a single post proposal for each Social Network (Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn and Threads). Social Mentor One Gpt was the last App approved by the promising young people of the Maria Ausiliatrice Institute: the last Machine Learning session took place on May 7th.
TO KNOW MORE: Artificial intelligence, Avvenire di Calabria presents the “Social Mentor Gpt” Suite: four new apps to support journalistic work
The first apps had already been presented publicly on March 1st by the students Gaia and Rebecca (13 years old), on the occasion of the report on the digital transition held by the director of the newspaper Future, Marco Girardoon the occasion of a training event organized by the Archdiocese of Reggio Calabria in collaboration with the Order of Journalists of Calabria.
The Aula G laboratory aroused the interest of all the students and their parents (some also asked to participate in Machine Learning sessions with their children). For this reason the educational activities carried out through the use of Artificial Intelligence will not stop with the end of the school year, but will also continue during the children’s summer, until 20 July.
Archbishop Morrone expressed the pastoral perspective of this initiative: «with artificial intelligence we have definitely entered a new world, almost a new continent, full of opportunities and also unknowns as has already happened in some critical but decisive passages for humanity’s journey. We are called with critical intelligence to inhabit these new territories, paying the right attention to what is already underway, but contributing to their development with our contents and our presence”. The presence of the Church, continues Morrone, «is necessary to direct and orient the new generations who are already inside, while we boomers have remained a little outside. This is a big challenge, a great opportunity in which thought is provoked: let’s face it together. It’s about thinking differently, in a different way, but with anthropological and ethical demands that are fundamental for us Christians. It is a way in which we can bring the eternal Gospel into these new agoras, which in essence is the promotion of humanity in every sense.”
The principal of the Mary Help of Christians School, Sister Maria Ausilia Chiellinowho is also a clinical psychologist and head of the Child Protection Service of the archdiocese of Reggio Calabria – Bova, underlined «how this educational activity was carried out with Future of Calabria not only does it train new skills, but it also provides all the elements necessary to distinguish what is true from what is false. Our students have all the necessary skills to “recognize” contents (texts, photos, videos) generated with AI, this too is the prevention of distorted use of artificial intelligence and, more generally, it is a protection service against of the minor and his family”.
The director of Future of CalabriaDavide Imeneo, specified how this activity «fits fully into the theme chosen by the Pope for the World Social Communications Day which is celebrated on Sunday 12 May: “Artificial intelligence and wisdom of the heart: for fully human communication”. Laboratory activities Room G are aimed at developing a fully human use of Artificial Intelligence: children are invited to collaborate to overcome the problems that arise during the Machine Learning sessions. They have learned how to fully exploit the potential of AI and know how to use artificial intelligence in a proactive way.” The programming phase of the applications was handled by the director of the diocesan weekly of the Reggio Church: «the archdiocese of Reggio Calabria – Bova, says Imeneo, accepted the Pope’s invitation contained in the message for the World Communications Day: “AI systems can facilitate the exchange of information between different generations.” During the programming of the Apps, continues the priest, «we witnessed this “exchange between different generations”where, however, it wasn’t the adults who “taught” them, but the younger ones: our goal is to grow together, promoting a constructive approach to artificial intelligence.”
The applications are already available on the OpenAi store And they run on ChatGpt 4were placed freely available to the digital community.
