ANGUS: The Danger of Unregulated AI

Charlie Angus / The Resistance - June 03, 2026

EXCERPT: "This past week, Pope Leo XIV released a powerful encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, on “safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence.”

One of the more provocative statements is his call to “disarm” AI before it destroys humanity. Leo is calling out the threat posed by autonomous tracking and targeting systems that are quickly transforming war into an algorithmic exercise in efficiency and death. He writes:

“To disarm means discrediting the assumption that technical power automatically confers the right to govern. To disarm does not mean rejecting technology, but preventing it from dominating humanity.”

Leo reminds us that humanity must be at the centre of our choices, rather than the algorithm. But that is not how things work in the world of the toxic tech oligarchs. . . . ."
