Last update: 2 minutes agoAI & Vatican Policy: Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, frames AI as a moral and economic turning point—warning of a “new Tower of Babel,” urging AI “disarmament,” and calling for tighter rules on autonomous weapons and the concentration of tech power.

Church Accountability: The Vatican’s apology for the Church’s role in slavery runs alongside the AI warning, tying historical exploitation to modern digital-era risks.
