On May 25th Pope Leo XIV published an encyclical titled Magnifca Humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in a Time of Artificial Intelligence.
In this session, we'll discuss the letter and its content, but also the significance of the encyclical itself. The combined inward and outward-looking discussion brings varying views on institutional signals, system entanglements, and different worldviews on technology and human flourishing.
