Last update: 5 hours agoVatican AI Push: Pope Leo XIV will personally unveil his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, on May 25, placing AI at the center of the Church’s ethics—human dignity, labor, and the dangers of AI in warfare. In a break from tradition, the launch moves to the main Vatican auditorium and includes Anthropic co-founder Christopher Olah, signaling the Vatican wants the debate to land beyond theology and into real-world governance. New Vatican Structure: The Holy See has also approved an interdicasterial AI commission to coordinate policy across seven Vatican bodies, with the first year led by the Dicastery for Integral Human Development. Papal Warning: Leo has said people should not be “represented by an avatar,” and he’s repeatedly warned that AI can distort truth and turn humans into passive consumers. Diplomacy & Culture: In parallel, Vatican officials kept the spotlight on compassion and human encounter at recent public events, underscoring the contrast with “machine-made” interaction.
