## Resource

Pope Leo the Fourteenth just dropped his landmark encyclical “Magnificent Humanity,” calling for a global pause on AI development to prevent catastrophe. He warns AI could fuel fake news, ignite conflict, and even automate war — all while eroding human dignity. With a 30,000-word deep dive co-presented alongside Anthropic’s Chris Olah, the Pope underscores the urgent need for ethical guardrails, ensuring AI serves humanity — not the other way around. He’s alarmed by deepfakes, weaponized AI, and manipulative media, stressing that our choices now will shape the future of peace or peril.
