Franciscan Theologian Featured in Major Daily Wire Interview on AI, Human Dignity, and the Future of Humanity

As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms society, questions once confined to philosophy and theology are becoming urgent public concerns. In a featured interview for The Daily Wire's Weekend Punch, Dr. Deborah Savage, professor of theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville and director of the Institute for the Study of Man and Woman, joins Ben Domenech for a far-reaching discussion on Pope Leo XIV's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, the future of work, the rise of transhumanism, and the enduring importance of human dignity. Drawing on Catholic social teaching and decades of scholarship, Savage offers a compelling vision for ensuring that technological progress serves the human person rather than diminishes him.

"It absolutely must be ordered toward making life more human, not more machine-like."
