Pope Leo XIV on AI: Protecting Human Dignity in the Workplace | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Since his election, Pope Leo XIV has spoken constantly about the impact of AI on humanity. He even explained why he chose his name, citing both Rerum Novarum and artificial intelligence. Vice President of EWTN News, Dr. Matthew Bunson, joins us to discuss the impact of AI on humanity and how he would characterize the Holy Father’s outlook. One of the obvious challenges AI poses is in the workplace, where it could threaten the dignity of the laborer, bringing on another kind of revolution that risks undermining human work. Bunson also explains how likely it is that Pope Leo will release an encyclical addressing this issue. Poverty, too, has changed in many places. In Rome just two weeks ago, the Holy Father shared a meal with the homeless, many of whom said their condition stems more from a lack of work than from material poverty. Bunson reflects on what the Church teaches about the effects that a lack of work has on the human spirit. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
