ENCYCLICAL LETTER,MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS-- Introduction
This text says that modern technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI), should always serve people and protect human dignity.
The "ENCYCLICAL LETTER,MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS, ( HIS HOLINESS POPE LEO XIV ON SAFEGUARDING THE HUMAN PERSON IN THE TIME OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE) compares two stories from the Bible: the Tower of Babel and the rebuilding of Jerusalem. The Tower of Babel represents human pride, selfish ambition, and the desire for power and control. It warns against a world where people think only about profit, efficiency, and making everyone the same. Such an attitude can slowly take away human freedom and dignity.
On the other hand, the rebuilding of Jerusalem under Nehemiah shows another way. It is a way of cooperation, shared responsibility, and care for the common good. Different people work together, and every voice matters. Society becomes stronger when people help one another and include everyone, especially the weak and vulnerable.
The text explains that technology itself is not evil. However, technology is never completely neutral because it can be used either for good or for harm. Therefore, people must use wisdom, moral values, and ethical rules when developing and using AI and other technologies.
The document calls people to choose fraternity, inclusion, and compassion instead of allowing powerful private interests to control society only for money or influence.
Finally, the text reminds humanity to remain truly human. Progress should not only make life faster or more efficient; it should also protect the poor, respect human dignity, and help people live together as one human family in the spirit of God’s love.
