Artificial intelligence is changing how we work, learn, communicate, and even how we spend our attention. But as AI becomes more powerful, Pope Leo XIV asks us to look beyond what the technology can do and consider who bears the cost of that progress.
In Chapter 4 of Magnifica Humanitas, Amanda and Jonathan unpack what the Church has to say about the human consequences of technological transformation—from disinformation and attention-based business models to job displacement, hidden workers, data exploitation, and new forms of inequality.
They talk about:
Why truth and human attention should be treated as goods worth protecting
How technology and social media can shape culture, especially for young people
The impact of AI and automation on meaningful work
The hidden workers behind AI systems and the conditions they may face
How data extraction can create new forms of exploitation and colonialism
Why families, workers, and vulnerable people need to be considered when technology changes
The responsibility of businesses, investors, and technology designers
What it means to pursue technological progress while protecting human dignity
When technology creates new opportunities and wealth, who gets to share in the benefits—and who is carrying the hidden costs?
Join us as we continue our journey through Magnifica Humanitas and consider what it looks like to put the human person at the center of technological and economic progress.
