Magnifica Humanitas

“A defense of human dignity in the era of A.I.  . . .  including a dramatic plea for guardrails to ensure that artificial intelligence eases — rather than exacerbates — inequality and poverty.” — The Washington Post

A stirring call for humanity vs machines issued by the leader of the Roman Catholic Church . . .

Artificial intelligence encroaches on our lives more insidiously by the day, bent on destroying everything that makes us human. In the first encyclical of his papacy, Pope Leo XIV makes a ringing defense of the value of human life, thought, and expression. A bold statement of faith and values, the Pope’s manifesto immediately becomes an essential document of our time.
