The Archbishop of Westminster has welcomed the publication of Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, saying it offers an important contribution to the Church’s reflection on artificial intelligence and human dignity.
Archbishop Richard Moth, president of the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, said the document addressed “preserving the human person in the age of artificial intelligence”.
The encyclical is Pope Leo’s first since his election and follows one of his earliest interventions as Pope, in which he drew attention to the “profound challenges” that AI will bring to humanity.
