## Resource

In this episode, Scott and Michel continue breaking down the Pope's latest encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, and explore what it means to be human in the age of AI.We discuss why technology can imitate human abilities but can never replace the spiritual dignity, freedom, and soul of the human person. We unpack the dangers of a technocratic mindset and transhumanism, while reflecting on Pope Leo’s message of hope: that we are not powerless in the face of new technologies.With faith, wisdom, and strong moral foundations, we can help guide AI and digital technology toward true human flourishing.
