In his first encyclical, titled Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV urged governments, businesses, and tech firms to implement ethical safeguards and worker protections in the age of artificial intelligence.

• The 52-page document warns against allowing technology and profit to override human dignity, advocating for a "human-centred economy."
• The Pope insists that AI should complement, not replace, human workers and calls for reforms including fair wages, worker participation, and ethical regulation of automation.
• Released on the 135th anniversary of Pope Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum, the encyclical critiques the "Babel syndrome" driven by profit and calls for international regulatory frameworks for AI.
