The Pope will be present, along with several speakers: Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith; Cardinal Michael Czerny, S.J., Prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development; Professor Anna Rowlands, a theologian and professor at Durham University (United Kingdom); Christopher Olah, co-founder of Anthropic (USA) and head of research on the interpretability of artificial intelligence; and Professor Leocadie Lushombo, I.T., professor of political theology and Catholic social thought at the Jesuit School of Theology / Santa Clara University in California (USA).

Interesting line-up. Co-founder of Anthropic and Jesuit School of Theology which happens to be in Silicon Valley....so likely will be pretty balanced. The Pope already has mentioned caution with AI, so will be interesting to see how this develops.

The title itself "Magnificent Humanity" probably gives a clear indication that there will be drawing a line of separation between humanity and AI. Expected topics will be:

• Human dignity (humanity is not reducible to a data collection or info processor)
• Tool not Rival (AI is fit as a tool to be used but is not a replacement for humans - may likely speak against human-AI "relationships").
• War (will likely define that humans remain morally culpable for what automated machines do during war)
• Economic Displacement (will likely touch on the duty to not create wholesale economic disruption and to not widen the gap between wealthy and poor as a result of this tool)
