Pope Robert Francis Prevost, now Leo XIV, chose his name to honor Pope Leo XIII, linking his teachings on economic justice to today's challenges presented by artificial intelligence. In a recent address, Leo XIV emphasized that the Church's social teachings, like those of Leo XIII during the Industrial Revolution, are vital for navigating the ethical implications of technology on human dignity and labor. This connection highlights a continuity between past and present efforts to address rapid societal changes through the lens of faith and moral responsibility.
"In our own day, the Church offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defense of human dignity, justice and labor."
"Leo XIII applied Catholic tradition to the Industrial Revolution in a historic encyclical called Rerum Novarum, which became the founding document of modern Catholic economics."
