The AI Revolution: Pope Leo, Data Centers, China and Human Dignity | The Kevin Roberts Show w/Larry O’Connor

Dr. Kevin Roberts and co-host Larry O’Connor break down Pope Leo XIV’s new AI encyclical Magnifica Humanitas—a modern echo of Rerum Novarum—that demands AI serve human dignity, protect work, and uphold subsidiarity. They examine America’s race against China to lead in AI, the surge of data centers and energy needs, and why ethical guardrails beat both heavy regulation and unchecked transhumanism. Drawing on Heritage Foundation research, Roberts lays out a pro-innovation path that strengthens families, jobs, and moral order while keeping the U.S. ahead of the Chinese Communist Party.This video would not be possible without the generous donors of The Heritage Foundation.
