Pope Leo XIV attends the presentation of his first Encyclical Letter "Magnifica humanitas" on May 25, 2026 in Vatican City, Vatican. | Getty Images Pope Leo XIV warned of the risks of AI and unconstrained technological power in his first major papal document released on Monday. Magnifica Humanitas is the pope's manifesto on "safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence," in which he discusses the dangers of AI-powered warfare, the effects of AI on labor, and the need for new legal and ethical frameworks to govern technology. In his papal encyclical - a kind of open letter from the Catholic Church - Pope Leo stressed the economic and social upheaval that rapid AI adoption is creating, with inadequate protections for individuals that threaten human dignity. He com … Read the full story at The Verge.

The 245-paragraph document was presented alongside Anthropic co-founder Christopher Olah, whose company is actively suing the Trump administration over military AI use.

Demand for security engineers has surged as artificial intelligence generates a glut of new code and models like Anthropic’s Mythos create new concerns.

There’s no denying the excitement around Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open protocol for connecting AI assistants with external data, tools, and APIs. Since its debut by Anthropic in late 2024, thousands of MCP servers have emerged for devops, cloud, and beyond. Now that developers have integrated MCP servers into applications, and they have been battle-tested, usage patterns are emerging. For instance, supplying better context for AI is the most commonly cited primary value of using MCP, according to Zuplo’s State of MCP report released in early 2026. The Zuplo report also found that 63% of MCP users adopt MCP servers for accessing data sources such as documentation or knowledge bases. In software development, context engineering is the act of supplying AI coding agents with relevant data and capabilities to improve the accuracy and relevance of their outputs. It also involves optimizing the breadth of information to guide efficient processing. Such context can include coding style
