AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoAI Encyclical Launch: Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas,” lands Monday with a blunt call to “disarm” AI—warning it can spread misinformation, accelerate war, replace jobs, and let a few tech powers shape humanity’s future. War and “Just War” Debate: The text urges Catholics to move beyond just war theory, arguing force should be limited to strict self-defense and that delegating life-and-death decisions to machines is a “destructive spiral.” Regulation, Not Self-Policing: He rejects the idea that big tech can write its own rules, calling for robust legal frameworks, independent oversight, and cooling the AI arms race. Human Dignity, Truth, Relationships: The pope warns of an “eclipse” of what it means to be human, including the damage done by deepfakes and chatbots that exploit our need for real connection. Historic Apology: In the same document, he issues a rare Vatican apology for the Holy See’s role in legitimizing slavery.
