Pope Leo XIV on Monday issued a 42,300-word papal encyclical, "Magnifica Humanitas," warning global leaders to safeguard humanity from the disruptive effects of artificial intelligence. This significant document outlines his vision for corporate executives, politicians, and individuals, emphasizing the protection of human dignity and agency against technology that threatens to replace people in professional and social roles.
While acknowledging technology's non-antagonistic nature, Leo called for government regulation of A.I. developers, protection and retraining for threatened workers, and critical education for students. He also urged action to shield children from violent, hypersexualized or fake information online generated by A.I. and stressed that humans must retain responsibility for all decisions regarding weapon use. Presenting the encyclical alongside Christopher Olah, a co-founder of Anthropic, Pope Leo highlighted the importance of ensuring a fundamental social role for all human beings to prevent "anthropological regression" and maintain social peace.
