RTMH: Pope Leo's Magnifica Humanitas on AI
Zvi Mowshowitz's commentary covers Pope Leo's papal document 'Magnifica Humanitas' addressing AI. The piece analyzes the Catholic Church's formal position on artificial intelligence as expressed through a significant ecclesiastical document. This represents a notable religious institution staking out a substantive stance on AI development and ethics.
Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah speaks at Vatican on Pope Leo XIV's AI encyclical 'Magnifica humanitas'
Pope Leo XIV released an encyclical titled 'Magnifica humanitas: On safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence' on May 25, 2026, and Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah was invited to speak at its presentation in Vatican City. Olah acknowledged that frontier AI labs operate under incentives that can conflict with doing the right thing, and called for external moral voices—including religious institutions—to serve as informed critics of AI development. He highlighted three areas requiring discernment: AI's impact on the global poor and labor displacement, the conditions for human flourishing in an AI-saturated world, and the uncertain nature of AI models themselves, noting that his interpretability research has found internal states that functionally mirror emotions. The remarks represent Anthropic's effort to broaden the AI governance conversation beyond the technical community.
Data Points: DeepSWE Benchmark, DeepSeek V4 Price Cuts, MAI-Image-2.5, Mythos Security Findings, MCP Stateless Update
This edition of The Batch covers five distinct AI developments: Datacurve's DeepSWE benchmark claims to fix critical grading flaws in SWE-bench Pro with hand-written verifiers and harder tasks; DeepSeek permanently cuts V4 Pro prices by 75%; Microsoft's MAI-Image-2.5 debuts third on the Arena leaderboard; Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview found over 10,000 high/critical vulnerabilities in the first month of Project Glasswing, with remediation badly lagging discovery; and the Model Context Protocol proposes removing stateful sessions to enable stateless, load-balanced remote servers. Each item reflects meaningful movement in evaluation methodology, inference economics, multimodal generation, AI-assisted security, and agent tooling infrastructure.
