Cardinal Fernando Chomali, Archbishop of Santiago, Chile, offered a 10-point guide to understanding the central message. Magnifica Humanitas<\/em><\/a>The first encyclical of Pope Leo XIV, presented on 25 May.<\/p>\n

The topic of the encyclopedia is “On the Security of the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence.” In it, the Pope calls on both society and those designing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to be subject to “more stringent ethical constraints” for “respect for human dignity and the sanctity of life.”<\/p>\n

The cardinal shared 10 points on social media to promote a deeper understanding of the Holy Father’s central message in the document:<\/p>\n

1. The human person is at the center of all technological progress.<\/p>\n

2. The great challenge of our time is not technical but human and spiritual.<\/p>\n

3. Artificial intelligence should be deployed in the service of the common good.<\/p>\n

4. Human dignity does not depend on productivity or capabilities.<\/p>\n

5. Fragility is not a vice that must be eliminated.<\/p>\n

6. No artificial intelligence can replace human experience.<\/p>\n

7. Truth is a common good which must be protected.<\/p>\n

8. Human work cannot be subjected to the logic of machines.<\/p>\n

9. Freedom is threatened by new, invisible forms of control.<\/p>\n

10. A civilization of peace and love is the true alternative to technological power.<\/p>\n

An informative document for the situation in Chile<\/h2>\n

Archbishop Ren\u00e9 Rebolledo Salinas, President of the Chilean Bishops’ Conference, expressed his gratitude to the Holy Father for the encyclical, highlighting the “profound resonance” of the document with Chile’s pastoral and social challenges.<\/p>\n

He particularly noted the Pope’s concern about young people’s susceptibility to technological addiction and digital manipulation, a challenge currently facing the country. He also observed that one of the great challenges of the Church is to transform the enthusiasm of young people into a lasting missionary witness.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe digital environment is the natural mission field for the new generations,\u201d the bishop said, warning that \u201cit is not enough to turn off the screens; we must accompany them so that they can carry the light of the Gospel to this new continent.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also mentioned the upcoming International Church Communication Seminar<\/a>Which will take place on July 27-28 in Chile with the theme: “Challenges of Artificial Intelligence.”<\/p>\n

“Publication of Magnifica Humanitas <\/em>\u201cThis is a potential moment when all the bishops of the country will gather at the end of July for seminars on communications and AI,\u201d he said, adding that the gathering would make the encyclical an \u201cenlightened foundational text.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addressing the Pope’s warning about how AI could undermine truth and democratic life, Rebolledo stressed that, in the current landscape of political and social changes, the Church’s role will remain that of enlightened conscience through the Gospel and the social doctrine of the Church.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Holy Father is clear: a technology that seeks only economic gain creates a new Babel that sacrifices the most vulnerable,\u201d the prelate stressed, adding: \u201cIn Chile, this directly challenges us to pay close attention to the new forms of poverty that are currently emerging.\u201d <\/p>\n

At the same time, he urged the protection of truth “in an era where misinformation and artificial intelligence can confuse what is true and what is false”.<\/p>\n
