Hervé Brusini Highlights Pope Leo XIV's Encyclical on Journalism and AI

Pope Leo XIV is scheduled to travel to France from September 25 to 28, 2026. In May 2026, he released the encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, which cautioned against the implications of artificial intelligence while supporting the efforts of journalists. Hervé Brusini, who leads the Albert-Londres Prize, commended the encyclical during an appearance on RFI's L'atelier des médias, underscoring its focus on high-quality journalism. Brusini, identifying as an "absolute agnostic," remarked on the document's relevance during a time of declining trust in the media. He reflected on the Church's evolving stance towards media, from initial support to a more cautious approach. As Chipip's president, Brusini championed media literacy and highlighted journalism's essential role. L'atelier des médias broadcasts every Saturday across various podcast platforms.
