Pope Leo XIV's encyclical tackles human dignity in the age of artificial intelligence
Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical, Magnifica humanitas, addresses the challenges of artificial intelligence and what it means to be human in an era where machines learn, think, and reshape work and belief. The document builds on Catholic social teaching, extending Leo XIII's work on labor rights to the algorithmic age, focusing on human dignity, the nature of consciousness, and the ethical boundaries of AI.
Key quotes
