    By Dr. Jim Castagnera, Esq.

    “Pope Leo’s lengthy tome comes at a time when many historians and pundits are pointing out parallels to the Gilded Age.”

    In this month’s Labor Pulse, Jim Castagnera discusses the significance of Pope Leo XIV’s first official encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, which addresses social and moral implications of the revolution in artificial intelligence.

    Noting the new encyclical’s call for “responsible care for the human family,” its warm reception from organized labor, and parallels with Pope Leo XIII’s famous 1891 encyclical Rerum Novarum, Jim nonetheless expresses skepticism about the document’s more immediate hope that “AI’s new generation of tycoons will put people over profit.”

    To learn more about these developments, enjoy Jim’s latest Labor Pulse article, “The More Things Change, the More They Remain the Same? Two Encyclicals, 155 years, Same Naivete.”
