Magnifica Humanitas

Magnifica Humanitas is the first encyclical of Pope Leo XIV, focused on protecting human dignity in the age of artificial intelligence. The document explores how AI is reshaping work, communication, politics, and warfare, while warning against technologies that reduce people to data or profit-driven systems. Drawing inspiration from Pope Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum, it calls for ethical responsibility, social justice, and international regulation of emerging technologies. Pope Leo XIV emphasizes that innovation must always serve humanity, promoting compassion, truth, solidarity, and the common good rather than domination, inequality, or technological control over human life.
