In Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV reflects on safeguarding human dignity in an age shaped by artificial intelligence and rapid technological change. Rooted in Catholic social teaching, the encyclical calls us to embrace technology with wisdom while remaining committed to truth, compassion, justice, and the dignity of every human person.
