Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical letter Magnifica humanitas offers powerful insights into the protection of the human person in the age of artificial intelligence. It places the dignity of the human person at the centre as the criteria for guiding technical progress..
President of the Bishops’ Conference and Archbishop of Westminster, the Most Reverend Richard Moth, has welcomed the publication of Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical letter Magnifica humanitas.

It demands study and we look forward to further reflections in this area.
