E7: Pope Leo's AI Encyclical with Chris Gunty of Catholic Review
<p>Rebecca talks with Chris Gunty, associate publisher of the Catholic Review, about Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical and why the pontiff chose artificial intelligence as the focus of one of the Church’s most significant teaching documents.

Rebecca and Chris also discuss the decline of religion reporting in mainstream media, the value of faith-informed journalism, and why keeping humanity at the center of technological change is a challenge that extends far beyond the newsroom.</p>
