The most recent papal encyclical on the subject of „AI“

web seminar

Date: Friday, 10 July 2026

Time: 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

Speaker: Tobias Teuscher

Artificial intelligence is the new social issue of our time. This is what Pope Leo states in his encyclical *Magnifica Humanitas*. Those who possess data, control algorithms and oversee digital infrastructures wield political power. The new encyclical therefore poses an uncomfortable question: Are we building a new Tower of Babel or a just city? At the heart of the matter lie human dignity, the common good, subsidiarity, solidarity and democratic responsibility. The lecture demonstrates why this encyclical can be read as a „Rerum novarum“ for the digital age. It challenges states, businesses, churches, universities and citizens not to leave the technological future in the hands of a handful of monopolies. At stake is nothing less than the political defence of what it means to be human in the age of the machine.
