[Catholic Pope Leo XIV Releases First Encyclical 'Magnifica Humanitas,' Focusing on AI and Human Dignity] Catholic Pope Leo XIV has released his first encyclical, *Magnifica Humanitas* ('Great Humanity'), at the Vatican following his inauguration. The document focuses on human dignity and social responsibility in the context of the rapid development of artificial intelligence, automation, and digital technologies. It emphasizes that AI should serve the common good of humanity rather than undermine human autonomy, creativity, and moral responsibility. Additionally, it calls on governments, tech companies, and international organizations to establish ethically grounded frameworks for technology governance to prevent algorithmic discrimination, surveillance abuse, and excessive wealth concentration. Leo XIV stated that humanity should not outsource moral judgment to machines, and technological progress must be premised on safeguarding human values and freedom.
