60th World Day of Social Communications

17.05.2026
“Preserving Human Faces and Voices” is the theme of the 60th World Day of Social Communications, 17 May 2026. In his message, Pope Leo XIV reminds us that our faces and voices are sacred gifts from God that make us unique and enable authentic human connection.

In a time when artificial intelligence can mimic voices and faces, this is precisely what is at stake: What makes us human? How do we preserve our dignity, our emotions, and our genuine relationships in a digital world often shaped by algorithms and stereotypes?

The Pope warns: technology must never replace the human person – it should serve us. Let us stand together to ensure that communication remains truthful, respectful, and deeply human

Because in the end, it’s not about algorithms – it’s about us: our stories, our dreams, and our responsibility for one another.
