This web page, which invites users to look up the number of immigrants supposedly arrested on charges of criminal activity in American cities and towns, belongs to a subgenre of Trumpian gestures that are menacing and sophomoric at the same time. “Grotesque and terrifying and juvenile,” is how Ernesto Verdeja, a genocide-prevention expert at the University of Notre Dame, described it to me.

Livestock are vulnerable because of how they’re handled, Lee Haines, an associate research professor of biological sciences at the University of Notre Dame, said in an email Thursday. Standard practices with cattle can break the skin, including shearing and de-horning, or even moving them in and out of corrals can cause scrapes and cuts. Birth would also make a mother and calf vulnerable, she said.

For SpaceX, the uninhibited nature of CEO Elon Musk, especially in his posts on X, presents risks amid the formality of the IPO process, said University of Notre Dame finance professor Timothy Loughran. “He’s well-known for expressing himself on his social media site and he’ll have to be very careful,” he said. “It’s an open question whether he can restrain himself.”

Notre Dame law professor Derek Muller has an equally critical, but less apocalyptic, view. He says the court seems to want to wash its hands of political cases, the result being maximum gerrymandering, whether the state is Alabama or California. He too sees the court's most recent decisions in voting rights cases as limiting how Congress can go about protecting minority voters. That said, there are ways that Congress could still act, he says. "Even if you did very simple restrictions, such as…you can only engage in redistricting once a decade or you can't change the rules for redistricting more than a year before an election. Those are ways to prevent some of the opportunism we have," Muller observes.

Though Anthropic turned over voluntary documents for regulatory review, that doesn't guarantee a final decision on the IPO, and the company could still decide to not go public, according to Patrick Corrigan, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame. Based on typical SEC timelines, a public filing could be expected in a few weeks, with stock trading potentially starting in two to four months, Corrigan told CNET in an interview.

There’s a risk that Anthropic’s engagement with the Vatican could remain superficial and lead to a “feelgood” discourse without critical self-examination, for both sides, says Paolo Carozza, a law professor at Notre Dame law school and co-chair of the Meta Oversight Board. “This is Anthropic’s brand, right? That’s how they’re distinguishing themselves, by aligning themselves with the more safety and responsibility oriented voices. There’s something to be gained by saying, ‘Look, even the pope is willing to talk to us because of [our pro-safety brand]. Google wasn’t on the stage and OpenAI wasn’t on the stage,’” Carozza says.

Paolo Carozza, a professor of law at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, called the document “profound and prophetic.” By characterizing ideas such as the dignity of work, the limits of automation and the use of AI in warfare not as abstractions but necessary considerations for anyone developing AI technology, he said, the pope’s treatise, he said, “will prove to be a defining document for our era.”

Paolo Carozza, a Notre Dame law professor and human rights expert who co-chairs Meta’s Oversight Board, which serves as in independent check on the tech giant’s content moderation decisions, similarly appraised Magnifica Humanitas as “not an anti-technology document,” but rather one which “calls on each of us individually to examine our own personal relationship to the technological project that is transforming the world around us.” Carozza said he sees the real crux of the encyclical as not adjudicating whether AI as such is good or bad, but rather imploring all people — especially those with power over the ways AI is developed and deployed — to consider whether it helps individuals and communities become more humane, just and participatory, or whether instead it fosters exclusion, control and inequality.

"I am convinced that this will prove to be a defining document for our era, a profound and prophetic document," said Notre Dame Law 91视频 professor Paolo Carozza, a member of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences who studies the intersection of technology and Catholic social thought. Holy Cross Fr. Robert Dowd, president of the University of Notre Dame, said in a prepared statement that it was "a deliberate choice" the pope signed his new encyclical on the 135th anniversary of Rerum Novarum, Pope Leo XIII's landmark 1891 letter that established the modern foundation for Catholic social teaching.

“Rerum novarum” also coincided with the Vatican’s support for worker activism on the other side of the Atlantic. Many Catholics in the U.S. at the time were immigrants, who often worked in jobs such as coal mining and steelwork that had become more grueling due to industrialization, according to Notre Dame American studies professor Kathleen Sprows Cummings.
