Pope Leo XIV's recent encyclical, *Magnifica Humanitas*, presents a stark contrast to President Donald Trump's tech-first agenda, particularly regarding artificial intelligence (AI). The encyclical, aimed at the global Catholic community, critiques the unbridled ambition behind AI development, which Leo argues is driven by a harmful competitive mindset. He advocates for a 'disarming' of AI, emphasizing the need for ethical governance and public oversight to ensure technology serves humanity rather than dominates it. In contrast, Trump's administration has focused on maintaining technological superiority over China, often advocating for minimal regulation. Leo's concerns extend to the military use of AI, where he rejects the notion of entrusting lethal decisions to machines, arguing it risks normalizing warfare. The encyclical could resonate with conservative Catholics in the U.S., potentially influencing discussions on moral leadership in technology. As the Church considers implementing Leo's teachings, it may lead to initiatives aimed at reducing screen time and promoting ethical engagement with technology.
