Pope Leo XIV has promulgated a new encyclical, 'Magnifica Humanitas,' addressing the moral and ethical dimensions of artificial intelligence, with leading academics affirming its call to keep human dignity central to AI development. The Vatican's growing role in shaping global technology governance signals the rise of a powerful religious institution wielding influence over systems that will control commerce, communication, and human decision-making worldwide. This aligns with biblical warnings about a final world system where a single religious-political power exercises authority over all peoples and nations, as described in Revelation 13 and 17.
