Pope Leo XIV's encyclical letter, titled *Magnifica Humanitas*, discusses the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) on humanity. Released by the Vatican, the 250-page document aims to defend human nature and warn against the dangers of relying on technology to replace human capabilities. The pope argues that human imperfection is a source of beauty and dignity, contrasting this with the notion that technology can enhance human existence. He expresses concern about the tendency to allow AI to make moral decisions, which could undermine individual reasoning and place moral authority in the hands of those who control AI systems. The encyclical does not outright reject AI but emphasizes the importance of maintaining human uniqueness and the capacity for love, which he believes cannot be replicated by machines.
