Recently, the first encyclical of Pope Leo XIV was published: Magnifica Humanitas, ‘the magnificent humanity’. A remarkable title for a document that addresses the impact of artificial intelligence and digitalization. Why did he choose this theme in particular? What does the Pope see as the greatest risks when it comes to AI? And can Catholic social teaching offer a different perspective?
Listen to this podcast in which religious studies scholar Heleen Murre-van den Berg and AI expert Pim Haselager continue the conversation about the meaning of the encyclical. Programme maker Liesbeth Jansen is the moderator.
The language of the podcast is Dutch.
