Pope Leo’s educational initiative

Pope Leo XIV argues in his first encyclical, Magnifica humanitas, that the primary challenge of artificial intelligence is its connection to the technocratic paradigm. In the document, the pope suggests that this paradigm defines human and natural relationships through power, profit, and efficiency, which fosters consumerism and a disregard for humanity.

To address the digital revolution, Leo writes that society must separate technology from this paradigm. For the past year, the pope has maintained that Catholic education serves as an essential tool for this effort.
