Description
A landmark encyclical from Pope Leo XIV, this work confronts a pressing question of our time: what does human dignity mean when artificial intelligence and new technologies increasingly shape work, decision-making, and social life? Drawing on Catholic social teaching, it argues that power—especially the power to automate, predict, and influence—must be ordered toward justice, peace, and authentic solidarity, never toward replacing or diminishing the human person. With a clear, pastoral voice, the encyclical calls readers to protect the value of labor, defend the vulnerable, and ensure that innovation strengthens the common good rather than eroding it. Magnifica humanitas invites people of goodwill to consider how ethical responsibility can guide technological progress so that human flourishing remains the measure of every advance.
