Abstract

This study reflects the need to train young university students in a comprehensive manner to respond to the new challenges that arise from artificial intelligence and technologies. Critical thinking is necessary for their ethical use. The university student must search for the truth and do it from a reason expanded with different knowledge. The last three Popes have reflected on the need to recover the authentic mission of the University and Pope Francis reflects on the use of artificial intelligence in education. Every science implicitly or explicitly offers a non-neutral anthropological, epistemological, meaning and ethical positioning, the University must form to always respect human dignity. We consider that the reading of works that provoke, starting from the everyday, to open up to the mystery is key in the moment we are living. Flannery O'Connor is a writer who has an extraordinary potential to educate young people in values, to provide them with a solid critical thinking and to be able to understand that technologies are tools at the service of human beings and not the other way around. The need to integrate, research and use ICTs is a challenge of our time to which the University must respond.
