Magnifica humanitas - On safeguarding the human person on the time of AI

 Worth a read. Pope Leo XIV's statement/encyclical letter on AI - Magnifica Humanitas.

The argument for the primacy of human endeavours and the need to ensure that any form of technology is given deeper thought before wholesale adoption by humanity.

A brief google search will reveal many reviews, both from within the Catholic / Christian community and without.

The essence of the statement is of importance as it is a call to reevaluate where humanity is going with technology along with the free-market capitalism which funds it. There are reminders of the  many ethical issues surrounding technology. It effect, its a wake up call for many, to be vigilant and to monitor technological advances, to ensure that their adoption does not lead to detriment to the human race.
