On Monday, 9 November 2026, Pope Leo XIV addressed social movements and the world of work at the Catholic University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Vatican News reports.
Reflecting on the principles of the Church’s Social Doctrine, the Pope said the “first and most fundamental” is “the dignity of the human person.” He warned that “the challenges posed by artificial intelligence and unregulated automation can put countless jobs at risk and become a real threat to proper integral human development.”
He stressed that “technology must always be subject to ethics,” and, in Vatican News’ summary, said an algorithm cannot replace human discernment or the intrinsic value of a worker’s physical presence and effort.
The Pope also said that “when economic profit is established as the sole criterion of success, a business becomes dehumanized,” pointing to Venerable Enrique Shaw, the Argentine Catholic entrepreneur, as an example. He urged those present to defend human dignity, promote the common good and practise solidarity and subsidiarity, “placing God at the forefront of our actions and the human person at the center of our choices.”
