OMI JPIC USA Welcomes Interfaith Coalition’s Response to “Magnifica Humanitas,” Pope Leo’s Encyclical on AI June 3rd, 2026
“OMI JPIC USA welcomes the following Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility‘s (ICCR) response to “Magnifica Humanitas,” the encyclical on artificial intelligence that was released on May 25th by Pope Leo XIV.”
(Fr. Séamus Finn, OMI)
In response to the release of Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas Josh Zinner, CEO of ICCR, issued the following statement:
“ICCR is grateful for the moral clarity and analytical rigor conveyed in Pope Leo’s encyclical about AI. On so many issues ranging from the over-concentration of corporate power, to income inequality, the future of work, and the danger of surveillance and autonomous weapons, the encyclical highlights the need to not lose sight of the vital human connection. As the Pope underscores in this important work – ‘in an age of continuous technological transformation, we need a political creativity that will promote “work” and place the family and coming generations at the center; otherwise our economic progress will translate into new forms of insecurity and exclusion.’
