The dance of certainty, probability, and mystery: Insights from AI and faith
humAInism Artificial Intelligence, Data governanceIn exploring the interplay between certainty, probability, and mystery in AI, the insights from Robert Harris's film Conclave provoke deep reflection. Certainty, while desirable, can mislead, especially in addressing life's complex questions. AI, rooted in probability, embodies this uncertainty, serving as a mirror of human imperfection. Embracing doubt allows for adaptability, while fostering a sense of mystery can inspire creativity and growth.

This balance between the known and the unknown is key to understanding AI's role in society.
