Future‑Friendly Tech: A Call for Care
USASaturday, July 4, 2026
A new papal letter urges humanity to treat AI as a tool for human dignity, not a data point.
The Core Message
- Purpose: Reflect on how we shape a world that supports and protects each other.

|---|---|
| AI’s Limits | AI cannot feel joy, pain, love, or responsibility. |
