Magnifica Humanitas, Chapter 5: Can AI Make War Even More Dangerous?
The Catholic Money Show from WalletWin
What happens when artificial intelligence and other powerful technologies enter the world of war? In Chapter 5 of Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV turns his attention to war, peace, power, and the possibility of building what he calls a “civilization of love.” Amanda and Jonathan talk through some challenging questions about AI and warfare, the dehumanizing effects of technology, the normalization of conflict, and what it means to keep human responsibility at the center of decisions that can have irreversible consequences. They also discuss just war theory, nuclear weapons, economic interests behind conflict, the importance of diplomacy and dialogue, and why peace requires more than simply avoiding war. And as the chapter moves from the global to the personal, they consider something much more practical: What can ordinary Catholics actually do when the problems of the world feel too big for us? The answer isn't resignation. We can begin where we are—through our choices and the small acts of faithfulness that help build a civilization of love.
