Pope Leo XIV has released his first major encyclical, "Magnifica Humanitas," calling for stringent regulation of artificial intelligence to ensure it serves humanity and upholds the common good over profit.
The encyclical warns of serious threats posed by unregulated AI, including misinformation, economic upheaval, and the risk of autonomous weapons fueling global conflicts.
Emphasizing the moral implications of AI, the pope argues that technology cannot be seen as neutral as it reflects and influences societal values and power dynamics.
Concerns over job displacement due to automation are highlighted, as the pope advocates for safeguarding human dignity and protecting workers' rights in the face of rapid technological advancements.
The document also includes a historic apology for the Vatican's past role in legitimizing slavery, linking this historic reckoning to the potential for new forms of exploitation arising from AI.
By engaging in these pressing ethical challenges, Pope Leo XIV positions the Catholic Church as a key player in the conversation around technology, morality, and the future of humanity.
