Pope Leo to issue text on human dignity and AI with Anthropic co-founder

Pope Leo is releasing an encyclical (a major teaching document from the Catholic Church) called Magnifica Humanitas that addresses how artificial intelligence affects human dignity, workers' rights, and society. The document will be presented at the Vatican on May 25 with Christopher Olah, co-founder of Anthropic (an AI company), and other speakers, marking a significant moment where the Church signals its engagement with rapid technological change similar to how Pope Leo XIII responded to the Industrial Revolution in 1891.
