Join the entrepreneurial quest for common good facing the new industrial revolution, AI and climate change
“ the Church offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of AI that pose new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice and labour.”
An international entrepreneurial network initiative
Pope Leon XIV called upon a new vision rooted in the tradition of wisdom of the Church Social Doctrine initiated by Leon XIII with Rerum Novarum. Why not link entrepreneurs endeavouring to put tech at the service of human dignity and the preservation of the Common Home, share their ground experience and nourrish the Pope’s reflections ?
This the raison d’être of Rerum Nov[ai]rum : share, inspire and bear witness
Rerum Nov[AI]rum: Leo XIV or the gamble on the anthropology of dignified work in the age of AI?
New landmark encycliques on AI? The name, the American origin and the first speeches suggest a strong ambition. To mobilise all the depths of social, economic and anthropological thought inherited from nearly 2000 years of history to the extent of the ‘provocation’ of AI, at a time of deregulated climate and clashes of military-technological power.
The world has changed so much since Leo XIII and the beginnings of the Social Doctrine of the Church. From industrial chains to the less visible chains of the click job, from proud factories to global oligopolies in the cloud, from notable entrepreneurs to agile disruptors in remote work, from machine tools to the world of anthropomorphic doubt ...
And what if this were a great opportunity to invest even more in the entrepreneurial terrain to "serve without enslaving", by discerning as close as possible to the AI terrain the signs of the common good, the keys to the work of the future, the inalienable dignity of the human person equipping himself with powerful machines without deleterious anthropomorphism?
The subject should inspire much more than just the faithful: everyone cares about the kind of economy that helps people grow in humanity; what serves integral ecology; what makes scientific research and technological innovation truly noble; and how entrepreneurial efficiency serves the common good and the inclusion of the poorest in humanising work …
