Analysis of Leo XIV’s Encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas”

Peter G. Kirchschlaeger shares his assessment of Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical from an ethical perspective alongside other experts in an interview for the “Humanitas Unisinos” Research Institute at the Brazilian university Unisinos. In his moral reflection of “AI”, Pope Leo XIV. continues the support by Pope Francis of two concrete proposals for action resulting from Kirchschlaeger’s research: human rights-based global regulation of “AI” and the establishment of an International Data-Based Systems Agency (IDA) at the UN to enforce global regulation of “AI”.
