Pope Leo XIV has released an encyclical, "Magnifica Humanitas," addressing the societal impact of artificial intelligence and warning against its unchecked use. The document, developed in partnership with Anthropic, emphasizes that AI's application is not merely technical but touches upon fundamental human rights and freedoms. While the encyclical has been influential, some critics argue it does not sufficiently address artificial general intelligence (AGI) or the potential for superintelligence, focusing instead on the immediate human implications of current AI technologies.
