Carta Encíclica de Su Santidad León XIV Magnifica Humanitas (15 de mayo de 2026)
Pope Leo XIV's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, dated 15 May 2026 on vatican.va, frames the age of artificial intelligence between the biblical images of Babel and Nehemiah rebuilding Jerusalem, arguing that technology must serve human dignity and the common good rather than a technocratic race for power. Tracing the Church's social doctrine from Rerum novarum through Francis, he examines AI's effects on truth and communication, education, work, families, new forms of slavery and data extraction, and war, asks forgiveness for the Church's historical complicity in slavery, and calls for regulation, transparency, and a human-centered "disarming" of AI.
