Statement from Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., on the papal encyclical "Magnifica Humanitas:"

In "Magnifica Humanitas," Pope Leo XIV has given us a profound gift: a teaching that reminds us that every human life possesses an inviolable dignity and that safeguarding this dignity must be the foundation of every decision we make as we develop and apply artificial intelligence.

Signing this encyclical on the 135th anniversary of "Rerum Novarum," Pope Leo XIII’s historic letter on the rights of workers, is a deliberate choice. Just as Leo XIII addressed the disorientation of the industrial revolution, Leo XIV calls us to moral clarity and solidarity in the midst of this latest societal transformation, underscoring the urgency of the questions humankind faces.

At Notre Dame, our mission as a global Catholic research university compels us to advance Pope Leo XIV’s historic contribution to Catholic social tradition through our research, our teaching, and all of our work in service of the common good. The Holy Father has highlighted the critical role that Catholic scholars and researchers — and all those of goodwill — must play in raising moral questions and actively shaping new technologies to ensure they serve the entire human family.

If you attended Commencement this Sunday, you may have heard Valedictorian Marin Soros ’26 reference “St Olaf’s Ice Chapel.” Read about it here: https://t.co/62k1wSNqcN

"Class of 2026: today we are sent into the world: to Wall Street and classrooms, to hospitals and courtrooms.

Like Father Sorin, we stand before a world that has grown cold. And though the people we encounter may know nothing about Notre Dame, we can leave a mark on their hearts with the warmth we have cultivated here.

This may seem daunting. But we’ve been doing it for four years, and we are just getting started."

- Valedictorian Martin Soros

Artemis II, a crewed lunar flyby mission, marked humanity’s return to deep space for the first time in more than 50 years. See how Notre Dame alumnae made a difference: https://t.co/gqhuCHpoeV

[Notre Dame Magazine @ndmagazine]

Two ND alumnae helped make history on Artemis II, humanity’s first return to deep space in more than 50 years. From NASA mission control to the spacecraft’s software systems, their work helped send astronauts around the moon and safely home again. https://t.co/gqhuCHpoeV

Underwater robots 🌊🤖 are often overconfident, causing them to veer off course. @EE_NotreDame Prof. Mengxue Hou’s new AI system allows robots to quantify their own uncertainty. No more guessing; just smarter navigation 🧭.
