What are the greatest threats that artificial intelligence poses, and how can we remain fully human in the age of AI?In Part 3 of our series on Pope Leo's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, we explore Chapter 3 of the encyclical and examine the opportunities, dangers, and moral questions surrounding artificial intelligence.Pope Leo argues that AI is not simply another technological innovation. It is reshaping the way we think, make decisions, relate to one another, and even understand what it means to be human. Drawing on the Church's rich philosophical and theological tradition, he warns against the rise of a "technocratic paradigm" -- a culture that prizes efficiency, control, and profit above the dignity of the human person.In this episode, we discuss:* What Pope Leo means by the "technocratic paradigm"* Why technological progress must be accompanied by moral progress* How artificial intelligence differs fundamentally from human intelligence* The dangers of overreliance on AI, algorithms, and simulated relationships* Why AI should never replace human moral judgment or accountability* The importance of political oversight, subsidiarity, and the common good in AI governance* Why we need to "disarm AI"* The rise of transhumanism and posthumanism* Why our limitations are not defects to eliminate but part of what it means to be human* How God's grace and not technology is the path to becoming truly "more than human"This is Part 3 of our chapter-by-chapter journey through Magnifica Humanitas. Whether you're interested in AI ethics, Catholic theology, philosophy, technology, or the future of humanity, I hope these reflections encourage you to read the encyclical for yourself and discover the Church's deeply hopeful vision for the digital age.SUPPORT THE PODCASTThis podcast relies 100% on the generosity of viewers.

During the summer months here on C&SI we try to share with listeners reflections and talks which we have come across over the year from various workshops and novenas which we think deserve a wider audience and to provide some thoughtful listening for our listeners. On this weeks podcast we have two such reflections and talks to share from TheWay.ie which is an online platform set up by the Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference to help people to discover, live and pass on the Catholic faith.The first segment is an interview with Tony Shanahan and Suzanne Cantwell from ACCORD who discuss the decline in Catholic marriages and the range of services ACCORD provides to support couples.In the second segment Natalie Doherty discusses Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical Magnifica Humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (just to note C&SI will be doing a full programme on the new encyclical in the near future).We have our regular run through the up coming liturgical odds and ends for the coming week including the saints of the week in part one.And in part three we share this weeks gospel from Matthew which is the parable of the sower.Text us at +353 874668950 or email at comeandseeinspirtaions@gmail.com

Pope Leo's new encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, includes two striking Biblical images, the construction of the tower of Babel and the rebuilding of Jerusalem. The fact that he presents the City of Man and the City of God as two realities under construction is very striking, and worth thinking on. This episode doesn't begin to exhaust the images, but it hopefully prompts more reflection!

Matthias and Fr Eamonn continue through Pope Leo XIV's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, completing the introduction with the document's central binary: the choice before humanity is not yes or no to technology, but whether to build a new Tower of Babel or rebuild Jerusalem. The episode works through the section on the common good — including […] L'articolo The ‘Permanent Underclass' and the City of God – Magnifica Humanitas – Church Wisdom with Fr Eamonn McCarthy & Matthias Conroy proviene da Radio Maria.

Since stepping into the Papacy, Pope Leo XIV has been a forceful voice pushing back against the anti-human path we're on with AI. In May, he released “Magnifica Humanitas,” a sprawling encyclical warning of the dangers to human dignity and agency posed by runaway AI. Tristan had the incredible opportunity to meet with the Pope ahead of the encyclical's release.  In the modern world, you'd think we would have developed governance structures to deal with powerful new technologies like AI. It's worth asking why a 2,000-year-old religious institution is the only one standing up and loudly declaring that the default path is unacceptable.  In this episode, Tristan and Aza discuss what it was like for Tristan to be at the Vatican, why this is such a critical step toward a pro-human future, and how we can build on the momentum of the Pope's call to action. Your Undivided Attention is produced by Center for Humane Technology. You can find a transcript of this conversation on our Substack. RECOMMENDED MEDIA The Pope's encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas” RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODES The Tech-God Complex: Why We Need to be Skeptics What Do We Mean by Humane Tech?Corrections: Tristan said that Pope John XXIII gave his radio address weeks after the Cuban Missile Crisis. It actually occured during the crisis. Tristan paraphrased the full quote from Pope Leo's encyclical on AI disarmament. Here is the full quote: "Disarming AI means freeing it from the mentality of “armed” competition, which today is not limited simply to the military context, but is also an economic and cognitive phenomenon. This entails a race for ever more powerful algorithms and larger datasets, driven by the desire to secure geopolitical or commercial dominance." Aza slightly misquoted Dr. King Jr. The full quote begins "The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live." The delegates for Bretton Woods came from just 44 countries, not "hundreds" as Tristan said.     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Xavi Ginesta built Voxel into the world leader in B2B travel payments, then sold it to chase a different question entirely: who are we, really? In this conversation, he traces the arc from conscious capitalism to The Festival of Consciousness, from his book Humanitas with the mystic Sergi Torres to a research practice on the future of human potential. At the center is a deceptively simple claim — that the scarcity mindset sets a ceiling on everything we can become, that love is the actual driver of the universe, and that the only way past the ceiling is the inner work no decision can shortcut. Christine and Xavi move through altered states, and the limits of the senses, the brain as receiver rather than generator, a clear-eyed critique of transhumanism, and a practical invitation to let the heart lead and the mind execute.In this episode, we cover so many topics, including:(00:00:00) Introduction to Xavi: The Festival of Consciousness, Voxel and Humanitas(00:04:47) Xavi's Business Journey And The Birth Of Voxel(00:09:11) Creating The Festival Of Consciousness And Finding Joy(00:16:13) Meeting Mystic Co‑Author Sergey Torres And Their Book “Humanitas”(00:20:31) The Question Of “Who Am I?” And Knowing What We Are Not(00:23:25) Consciousness, Reality, and Glimpses Beyond Sensory Domination(00:27:49) Expanded States, Scientific Evidence, And A Wider Aperture Of Awareness(00:29:53) Researching Human Potential And The Power Of Symbiotic Cooperation(00:34:59) How The Scarcity Mindset Limits Our Collective Purpose Frequency(00:36:35) Letting Go Of Control And Trusting Evolution Over Rational Planning(00:39:29) Embodied AI, Humanoid Robots, And Questions Of Experience(00:42:30) Brain As Receiver, Not Generator, And Emerging Scientific Evidence(00:44:05) Love As The Fundamental Nature Of Consciousness(00:49:20) Inner Transformation, Belief Systems, And The Limits Of Willpower(00:51:39) Practical Paths To Inner Work(00:58:10) Closing Reflections and InvitationHelpful links:Xavi Ginesta - Founder of Voxel and Humanitas Foundation.

Doi dintre semnatarii volumului „Suveranismul în România", Alina Pop și Filip Alexandrescu, demontează un mit colectiv: votul suveranist nu aparține exclusiv celor vulnerabili financiar, ci este un semnal de alarmă din partea celor care simt că „le merge rău". În spatele opțiunilor de vot din ultimii ani se ascund realități dure: muncă precară, venituri nesigure și sentimentul de abandon. Atunci când politicienii vin cu discursuri simple la probleme complexe și cu empatie aparentă („Vă înțeleg, vă văd lacrimile"), electoratul din cele „patru Românii" (de la marile orașe la ruralul mic) reacționează. Cum s-a format profilul acestor votanți și ce soluții (netestate) i-au atras? 00:03:25 "Suveranismul în România.

Two weeks ago, we raved about Pope Leo XIV's Magnifica Humanitas! Now, Matt and Joe join FARAZ's podcast to take aim at the most bold, questionable and controversial takes from the encyclical. Should AI really be a public good? Can a robot have a soul? What do Catholic theologians like Ilia Delio have to say about Leo's vision of humanity? And most importantly, what does this say about TTRPGs??? If anything...You might be surprised...Matt's a philosopher studying communities beyond the human, Faraz a computer scientist studying AI, and Joe a theologian studying how AI impacts our theology. The perfect combination of practical experience, academic rigor, and f*cking around.Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠, and support us on Patreon!Link to Ilia Delio's Substack.

What does Catholic Social Doctrine have to say about artificial intelligence?In Part 2 of our series on Pope Leo's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, we explore chapters 1 and 2 of the encyclical and discover why the Church's social doctrine is more relevant than ever in the digital age.Pope Leo does not create an entirely new moral framework for AI. Instead, he shows how the timeless principles of Catholic Social Teaching (human dignity, the common good, solidarity, subsidiarity, social justice, and integral human development) help us navigate the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence.In this episode, we discuss:What Catholic Social Teaching actually isWhy the Church speaks about AI, politics, economics, and technologyHow Pope Leo applies Catholic social doctrine to the digital revolutionWhy human dignity is the foundation of human rightsThe common good, solidarity, subsidiarity, and social justice in the age of AIWhy algorithms, data, and digital platforms raise new moral questionsHow Christians can think faithfully about emerging technologiesThis is Part 2 of our chapter-by-chapter journey through Magnifica Humanitas. Whether you're interested in AI ethics, Catholic theology, philosophy, technology, or Catholic Social Teaching, I hope these reflections encourage you to read the encyclical for yourself and think more deeply about what it means to remain fully human in the digital age.This podcast relies 100% on the generosity of viewers.

As promised, here is our episode about Pope Leo XIV's recent encyclical, Magnifica humanitas, in which he brings to bear Catholic social teaching on the perils of artificial intelligence and what they reveal about what it really means to be human being. It's a distinctly Augustinian reading of our nature and destiny, marked not just by Leo's attention to our limits as flawed and fallible creatures, but the joy and hope found by living into them—which, finally, becomes his plea to see life from the perspective of the lowly, the downcast, the abandoned.  To help us explain such a rich document, we had on our friend Jack Hanson, one of the most perceptive American writers on the Catholic Church. We tease out the connections between this Leo's first and encyclical and that of his namesake Leo XIII's Rerum novarum, an intervention on behalf of working people during the industrial and considered the origin of Catholic social teaching; Leo's "Augustinianism"; the encyclical's critique of artificial intelligence and what that has to do with its account of what really makes us human; and more.

Magnifica Humanitas has been called the "AI Encyclical," but there's far more to the document: a thorough analysis of Catholic Social Doctrine, an extensive treatment of modern warfare, and how power works in the world today. In this podcast, Alex Denley and Andrew Willard Jones discuss the political philosophy of Magnifica Humanitas, and how the Pope's analysis helps us to understand our future with AI, how the powerful will use it, and what we as Christians can do about it.

Bishop Wack reflects on Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical, "Magnifica Humanitas", which addresses the dignity of the human person and the Church's social teaching in the age of artificial intelligence. Drawing on scripture, Catholic social doctrine, and powerful images like the Tower of Babel, he encourages sharing discernment and to help build a “civilization of love” amid rapid technological change.

Bishop Joseph Strickland recently wrote a scathing critique of Magnifica Humanitas, claiming that it focuses too much on the human person and shifts our focus away from God. But in reading the document, you can see a clear and consistent Christological theme. Marcus has more. The American theologian Msgr. Charles Gusmer once observed that the Anointing of the Sick is the most misunderstood of the seven Sacraments of the Church. But it is a Sacrament with deep roots in Scripture and Tradition. We dive into its meaning with Michael Patrick Barber.

AHRC Summer Mini-Bundle: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-coursesJoin us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastWho owns your dignity, and what does it cost to get it back? Craig, Adam, and Emma work through Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on artificial intelligence, finding beneath its alleged radicalism a familiar liberal kernel: private property, mediated class relations, and a conspicuous absence of anything resembling class struggle. The launch event, staged with cardinals, worldly scholars, and an Anthropic representative, is a mise en scène of the double pincer, simultaneously legitimating AI as an inevitable apparatus of capture while reinstalling a figure of human dignity just fragile enough to need the Church's oversight.

In this first episode of our series on Pope Leo's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, we explore what the Catholic Church has to say about artificial intelligence, the digital revolution, and what it means to be truly human.Pope Leo argues that AI is not simply another technological innovation. It is reshaping the way we work, communicate, think, and even understand ourselves. Drawing on the biblical stories of the Tower of Babel and Nehemiah, he challenges us to build a future rooted not in pride or efficiency alone, but in human dignity, communion, and the common good.Why Pope Leo compares aspects of the digital age to the Tower of BabelHow AI is transforming society and human relationshipsThe difference between unity and uniformityWhy technology is neither inherently good nor inherently evilThe Catholic understanding of AI and human dignityHow Christians can remain deeply human in an increasingly digital worldThis is Part 1 of our chapter-by-chapter journey through Magnifica Humanitas. Whether you're interested in Catholic social teaching, AI ethics, technology, philosophy, or theology, I hope these reflections encourage you to read the encyclical for yourself and join the conversation.Question for listeners:How can we remain “profoundly human” in the age of artificial intelligence?00:00 – Introduction01:12 – Why We're Reading Magnifica Humanitas03:15 – The Lay of the Land: AI and the Digital Revolution06:48 – Big Tech Today Has More Power Than Governments09:36 – We Must Act Now, Before a Crisis10:31 – The Tower of Babel vs. Nehemiah14:26 – Unity vs. Uniformity18:07 – The “Babel Syndrome”20:48 – The “Way of Nehemiah”23:36 – We Are All Responsible for What Happens Next25:15 – The Morality of AI Depends on How We Use It26:33 – Remaining Profoundly Human27:37 – What's Coming in Part 2
