Pope Leo XIV has released his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, on safeguarding the human person in the face of artificial intelligence. This week on Register Radio, Register Managing Editor Jonathan Liedl and Register Staff Writer Jonah McKeown give us their analysis. And then, what do Gen-Z’s think of AI? We are joined by Register staff writer Gigi Duncan and Will Deatherage CEO of Catholics for Hire.
COMMENTARY: In his first encyclical, Pope Leo XIV makes striking use of the metaphor of building to explain the position in which both the world and the Church now find themselves.
COMMENTARY: ‘Magnifica Humanitas’ is the exact right message for the moment.
COMMENTARY: Pope Leo XIV approaches the AI age less as a technological problem than as an Augustinian question of love and communion.
