![excerpt from Magnificat Humanitas (2026)
Artificial intelligence
97. It is not my intention here to offer a comprehensive treatment of artificial intelligence, nor to give an overview of the extensive relevant literature, since authoritative contributions already exist, including within the ecclesial context. [123] | limit myself to recalling a few essential elements for a moral and social discernment that safeguards the primacy of the human
person, in order to ensure that it will always be human intelligence, with its conscience and freedom, that guides technical innovations and responsibly determines their use and limits.
98. It is appropriate to preface this discussion with two considerations. First, any statement regarding Al risks becoming quickly outdated, given the remarkable pace at which these systems are developing. Second, all of us, including those who design them, possess only a limited understanding of their actual functioning.
Indeed, current Al systems are more "cultivated" than
"built," for developers do not directly design every detail, but instead create a framework within which the intelligence "grows." As a result, fundamental scientific aspects - such as the internal representations and computational processes of these systems — remain, at present, unknown. There thus emerges an urgent need for a twofold commitment: on the one hand, a deepening of scientific research; on the other, the exercise of moral and spiritual discernment.
99. It is not possible to provide a single, comprehensive definition of Al. What can be stated, however, is that we must avoid the misconception of equating this type of
"intelligence" with that of human beings. These
