“The danger is not so much that a person may believe they are communicating with another person, but rather that they may gradually lose the very desire to form genuine human connections.” -- Pope Leo XIV, Magnifica Humanitas (100)
Pope Leo XIV issues a resounding call to uphold our "magnificent humanity" and to seek the common good in the face of the promises and the challenges of AI technology.
Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical letter is a resounding call to uphold the dignity of each human person and to seek the common good in the face of the promises and challenges of AI technology. The pontiff roots his presentation of our “magnificent humanity” in the theological soil of Catholic Social Doctrine, which rests on the dignity of the human person made in the image and likeness of God.
