AI - important messages by both Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury and RC Pope.

'Technology has the power to heal, connect, educate and protect our common home; but it can also divide, exclude and generate new forms of injustice.'

Published by the Holy See on 25 May 2026, *Magnifica Humanitas* is the first encyclical from His Holiness Pope Leo XIV.

In *Magnifica Humanitas*, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV reflects on what artificial intelligence means for Christians and for the wider world.

It raises important questions about truth in public life, the dignity of work, the protection of vulnerable people, the dangers of misinformation and the use of AI in warfare.

It reminds the Church that technology must serve humanity, not reduce people to data or concentrate power in the hands of a few.

As AI becomes part of everyday life, Anglicans and other Christians are called to bring faith, wisdom and compassion into conversations about technology, justice and the common good.
