The framework, created by an AI researcher who led the initial responsible AI review for GitHub Copilot, includes questions about shared benefits, public understanding, real agency, worker respect, and the ability for affected people to challenge harmful decisions. The review is designed for any project, with a particular focus on AI initiatives.", "body_md": "### Human dignity\n\nDoes it preserve judgment, conscience, relationships, and responsibility?\n\nMagnifica Humanitas review\n\nTools and skills for humans and agents to review things through the frame of the [Magnifica Humanitas](https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/encyclicals/documents/20260515-magnifica-humanitas.html).\n\nHow to use\n\nWhat is it good for\n\nProjects that use AI, certainly, but also... anything you want.\n\nReview questions\n\nDoes it preserve judgment, conscience, relationships, and responsibility?\n\nAre benefits shared broadly, especially with people most likely to be excluded?\n\nDoes it strengthen public understanding instead of rewarding confusion?\n\nDoes it expand real agency instead of steering, addicting, or surveilling?\n\nDoes it respect workers, livelihoods, families, and transition costs?\n\nCan affected people understand, challenge, and remedy harmful decisions?\n\nHuman(e) AI resources\n\nAbout\n\n[Pope Leo XIV](https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/encyclicals/documents/20260515-magnifica-humanitas.html)\nwrote Magnifica Humanitas.\n\nA [Large Language Mammal](https://hhh.hm) created this\nsite and skill (with AI help).
