Abstract

This position paper welcomes and responds to Pope Leo XIV’s Encyclical Letter Magnifica Humanitas (2026) on safeguarding human dignity in the age of artificial intelligence. Submitted by Lóránt Sípos (ORCID: 0009-0008-1987-2139), founder of the GRM808EI Ethical Intelligence System and Globidealism, the declaration offers the I + AI Code and its practical instrument, the TUDOK Operator – a measurable, model-agnostic, and auditable pre-ethical minimum for the primacy of truth in AI‑assisted decision‑making. The document emphasizes that technological development without ethical coordinates risks becoming a dehumanizing system. TUDOK functions as “Step Zero”: before any ethical deliberation, the system must first ensure that its outputs reflect reality rather than distorted representations shaped by narrative, prestige, fear, or short-term optimization. It invites religious leaders, governments, AI developers, research institutes, and civil society to examine and jointly validate the TUDOK Operator through independent testing and pilot projects.
