The Vatican has released a 250-page encyclical titled *Magnifica Humanitas*, signed by Pope Leo XIV, which discusses the implications of artificial intelligence (AI). The document aims to defend humanity against cynicism regarding human nature and to caution against the risks of relying on technology to replace human capabilities. The encyclical emphasizes the value of human imperfection and warns against the dangers of allowing AI to make moral decisions, which could diminish individual critical thinking and place moral influence in the hands of those who control AI technologies. The Pope does not call for the rejection of AI but highlights its potential risks while placing it within a historical context of technologies that promise power at the cost of human uniqueness.
