Pope Leo XIV has released his first encyclical, "Magnifica Humanitas," addressing the ethical implications of artificial intelligence. The document, drawing parallels to Pope Leo XIII's 1891 encyclical on labor, emphasizes safeguarding human dignity in the age of AI. It calls for increased regulation, accountability, and transparency from private companies developing and deploying AI, warning against the concentration of power and advocating for inclusive, collaborative development. The encyclical also highlights concerns about job displacement, the need for education on critical AI use, and the protection of children from harmful AI-generated content, while cautioning against AI's use in developing autonomous weapons.
