Co-Creation, Not Consultation
Communities participate in shaping AI systems before deployment, not only in commenting on them afterward.

Featured Initiative · Born from the encyclical Magnifica Humanitas
Magnifica Humanitas
Global Ambassador Initiative
The first structured, multi-stakeholder program designed to bridge the gap between the development of artificial intelligence and the communities that live with its consequences.
Overview
The operational response to a papal mandate
On 15 May 2026, Pope Leo XIV published Magnifica Humanitas, the first papal encyclical dedicated to safeguarding the human person in the age of artificial intelligence. It calls for a fundamental reorientation: away from a technocratic paradigm that reduces human beings to data points, and toward a civilization in which technology serves human dignity, the common good, and the flourishing of every community on earth.
The Magnifica Humanitas Global Ambassador Initiative is the operational response to this mandate. It is co-founded by Domus Communis Foundation and designed as the operational translation of the encyclical into structured, multi-stakeholder practice, creating the connective tissue between the actors who build AI and the communities its decisions affect.
“Rebuilding Jerusalem, not constructing Babel.”
How it works
Three core principles
Accountability
Every participant operates under a written charter with specific, measurable obligations. Quarterly reports are public and commitments are documented.
Independence Through Design
Launched by Domus Communis Foundation, the initiative is designed to become an independent international body, belonging to the communities it serves.
Structure
A five-tier architecture
The initiative connects five tiers of stakeholders, each with a distinct role, cascading from global moral authority through institutional, technical, civil society, and community layers.
- I
Patrons
Faith and interreligious institutions, heads of state, and Nobel laureates providing moral authority and institutional legitimacy.
- II
Guardians
National governments, regulators, and public institutions integrating community input into regulatory processes.
- III
Builders
Technology companies that sign a public pledge, host community convenings, and report transparently.
- IV
Connectors
Researchers, academics, and domain experts who bridge technical systems and community experience.
- V
Voices
Community organizers, local leaders, and citizens whose lives are shaped by AI decisions.
