ECPP warmly welcomes the first encyclical by Pope Leo XIV, 'Magnifica Humanitas'. In this important document, the Holy Father calls for AI that respects human dignity and serves the common good — a message ECPP wholeheartedly endorses.
ECPP President Valeriu Ghilețchi: "Pope Leo XIV finds ECPP at his side when he says AI should respect human dignity and serve the common good. Technological development and advancement cannot come at the expense of human life and wellbeing."
The encyclical also affirms values close to our heart: the protection of life, the importance of the family, the fight against modern slavery, and the urgent need for peace over the law of the strongest.
ECPP MEP Niels Geuking: "The attention the Holy Father gives to families is a great encouragement. The family is the most important unit of society, and we need to create an environment in which families can flourish — because if families flourish, society does too. We need to support families and young people through times of technological transformation to ensure the economic and social stability that makes family life possible."
