Pope Leo vs. the LinkedIn Hollow Men

"The first contribution we can make toward a more humane civilization,” Pope Leo XIV writes in his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, “is to be mindful of our words.” The power of words and language is one of the unifying threads of the papal document, which explores the growth of artificial intelligence and its implications for life, work, war, and what it means to be human. It’s a theme very much connected to the Tower of Babel, one of the biblical images Leo chooses to frame the volume.
