Pope Leo XIV’s Magnifica Humanitas addresses artificial intelligence as a defining moral and spiritual question of the present age. In this episode, Fr. Tim and Fr. Mike discuss AI through the biblical contrast between the Tower of Babel and the rebuilding of Jerusalem, arguing that technology must serve the human person, real relationships, truth, solidarity, and communion with God rather than becoming a false center for human life.
