Pope and co-founder of Anthropic to launch pontiff’s AI encyclical on May 25
The document will address human dignity, workers’ rights and AI use in warfare, with Anthropic co-founder Christopher Olah among the presenters.
- On Monday, the Vatican announced Pope Leo XIV will launch his first encyclical, 'Magnifica Humanitas,' on May 25, focusing on human dignity in the era of artificial intelligence.
- Leo signed the text May 15, the 135th anniversary of Pope Leo XIII's 'Rerum Novarum,' positioning AI concerns within the Church's social teaching that addressed labor and justice during the Industrial Revolution.
- Anthropic co-founder Christopher Olah will join doctrine chief Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández and development chief Cardinal Michael Czerny as main presenters at the Vatican event, marking a departure from papal tradition.
- Olah's participation signals potential friction with the Trump administration, which ordered agencies in February to stop using Anthropic's technology; the company is currently suing over alleged retaliation.
- As one of the highest forms of teaching for the Church's 1.4 billion members, the encyclical provides comprehensive guidance on labor and justice, reflecting Leo's priority on AI oversight throughout his pontificate.
