Summary

Pope Leo’s first encyclical tackles one of the biggest questions of our age: artificial intelligence. Gomer and Dave unpack the promises and dangers of AI, from truth, education, and social media to warfare, work, and human relationships. Are we building a tool that serves humanity, or a new Tower of Babel?

Find out how Catholics should respond with wisdom, beauty, strong families, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.
