Reflection by Pope Leo XIV "The Church wishes, with humility and frankness, to be part of conversations on artificial intelligence. We do not possess technical answers, nor do we seek to displace those with expertise. But we bring a wisdom concerning the human that our present time desperately needs: every person is unique and irreplaceable, a free and intelligent subject with a conscience, capable of seeking God, serving one another, and caring for our common home." (Presentation of encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, May 25, 2026)

Anthropic’s Chris Olah at the Vatican press conference to present Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical on AI: “There is a real possibility that AI will displace human labor at very large scale. If that happens, supporting those displaced will be a moral imperative of historic proportions.” Pope Leo wrote in the encyclical, “The pursuit of greater profits cannot justify choices that systematically sacrifice jobs, because the human person is an end, not a means, and the economic order must remain subordinate to human dignity and the common good.”

THIS IS HUGE MORAL MOMENT… Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, is focused on AI ethics, human dignity, labor displacement, and regulating artificial intelligence. And the Vatican chose to partner with Anthropic, currently in a major legal fight with the Trump administration over AI safety and military use of its technology. Anthropic has publicly resisted pressure around autonomous warfare systems and built its brand around AI safety and “constitutional AI.” The Church is signaling that AI isn’t just a tech issue. It’s a moral, political, and civilization-level fight now.

Pope Leo XIV was expected to reflect on pressing social issues and to refer - in his addresses to the Spanish society - to his groundbreaking "Magnifica Humanitas" encyclical. He did not disappoint. If you need Pope Leo's "Magnifica Humanitas" soundbite, here it comes: " We must avoid humiliating or antagonistic words, opting rather for a clarity that sheds light and a frankness that unlocks new possibilities. We cannot condone naïve enthusiasms, nor fuel unfounded fears. Instead, let us establish standards for discernment -- the dignity of the human person, the universal destination of goods, the preferential option for the poor, care for our common home and peace -- and let us translate these standards into practices such as responsible planning, the assessment of human and social impact, the inclusion of the most vulnerable, the promotion of digital literacy and guiding research and industry toward justice and peace." (Magnifica Humanitas, 14).

Pope Leo XIV explains his choice of name: "... I chose to take the name Leo XIV. There are different reasons for this, but mainly because Pope Leo XIII in his historic Encyclical Rerum Novarum addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution. In our own day, the Church offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice and labour."

Why listen to Pope Leo on AI? What can the Vatican possibly know about all that? Shouldn't the Pope stay in his lane? Critics immediately raised these questions after "Magnifica Humanitas" was published. Here's why. In short, the Vatican knows a lot more than you might think.

Pope Leo XIV says he took his name from Leo XIII who, in 1891, addressed the first Industrial Revolution with a call for justice, labor rights, and human dignity. Now, in the age of AI, the Church sees a new upheaval: “The developments of artificial intelligence bring new challenges for the defense of human dignity, justice, and labor.” (Thanks HeyGen for converting to English)

In his landmark manifesto, Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV calls for AI to be disarmed: “Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word is strong I know, but deliberately chosen because this moment needs words capable of attracting attention, awakening consciences, and indicating paths forward for humanity.” In his manifesto the Pope argues AI is the biggest threat humanity faces and that it must work for the common good, not profit.
