What the Pope Actually Said About AI

Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, argues that artificial intelligence is neither inherently evil nor morally neutral and that human value cannot be reduced to intelligence, productivity, or market efficiency. NLW breaks down the encyclical's core arguments, why social media reactions missed the point, and how the Pope is planting a flag for the coming fight over dignity, labor, limits, and what makes humans categorically different from machines. The episode also covers recent AI headlines including Anthropic's Mythos rollout and DeepSeek's token discount.
