This is Anthropic co‑founder Christopher Olah's full speech at the launch of Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas: On the Protection of Human Dignity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. Recorded in the Vatican’s Synod Hall, this event brings together top Church leaders and experts to reflect on safeguarding the human person amid the digital revolution and emerging technologies such as AI.
In this address, Olah shares the perspective of a leading AI lab on the promise and perils of frontier systems, engaging the Church’s call to defend human dignity against a growing “culture of power” shaped by powerful technologies. His remarks form part of a historic presentation where Pope Leo XIV personally introduces his social encyclical on artificial intelligence, joined by cardinals, theologians, and ethicists.
