  • Pope Leo XIV has broken tradition by personally attending the presentation of his encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas,” after a year of listening to various stakeholders.

  • The encyclical asserts that Artificial Intelligence is neither inherently evil nor a solution, and should be “disarmed” to prevent exclusion, inequality, and social dominance.

  • The Pope warns against war algorithms, calling them unjust and urging a shift from the “just war” concept to emphasizing multilateralism and diplomacy.

  • “Magnifica Humanitas” makes a historic “Mea Culpa” for the Church’s past stance on slavery and advocates against technological discrimination, especially in the workforce and against minorities and women.

  • The document echoes Leo XIII’s doctrine of social justice and will be a major topic during the upcoming papal visit to Spain.
