Vatican News offers a succinct report on “Magnifica humanitas,” Pope Leo XIV’s answer to the biggest challenge of modern times—preserving humanity in the face of AI—, much as his namesake predecessor Leo XIII’s “Rerum novarum” was at the time. The Pope has understood what the AI masters of the universe apparently have not, if we are to believe Eduardo Porter’s opinion column for The Guardian, and neither Geoffrey Hinton—“the godfather of AI”—has. AI fiction is to literature what fast food is to cuisine, argues The Washington Post. On a more grateful note to this soulless technology, it is helping decipher letters and texts that lingered in obscurity for centuries.
