Pope Leo XIV Receives AI Dignity Sphere as 70 Leaders Prepare Humanitatis Draft

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 17

Summary

  • A Murano glass “Sphere of Humanity” was presented to Pope Leo XIV on Sept. 2, carrying four handwritten passages from his May encyclical Magnifica Humanitas on dignity, conscience and AI.
  • Saint Peter for Humanity said the gift was meant to advance a push to define “what should stay human” as AI grows more powerful, echoing the pope’s warnings about dehumanization, opaque systems and weak accountability.
  • Next week in New York, 70 Nobel laureates, artists, technologists and philanthropists will begin drafting a “Codex Humanitatis” through 10 working groups covering work, oversight, information integrity and protections for children and families.
  • The nonprofit said the draft will go through global consultation before it seeks backing from governments, companies and institutions, including outreach at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
