Pope Leo XIV Releases First Encyclical on AI and Human Dignity

Pope Leo XIV is set to publish his first encyclical, 'Magnifica humanitas,' on May 25, 2026, addressing the preservation of human identity in the age of artificial intelligence. The Vatican's growing engagement with AI — including partnering with Anthropic co-founder Christopher Olah — signals the Catholic Church positioning itself as a global moral authority over transformative technology that is reshaping humanity. This aligns with prophetic warnings about a powerful religious system exercising worldwide influence in the last days, as described in Revelation 13 and 17, where a global religio-political order shapes the conscience of nations.
