I think you're pretty reasonable in your predictions. I had the thought recently, when I saw he was returning to the tradition of some time in the summer at Castle Gandolfo, that he might be planning on doing some writing then....but your analysis of 2027 makes sense.
I agree, targeting AI in it's current manifestation will quickly be obsolete, but if he can approach it more from a perspective in continuity with Rerum Novarum, with the impact of technology on humanity in a more general sense?
The other important piece in a Rerum Novarum comparison is balancing both dealing with the present moment and with the more timeless issues. In reading Rerum Novarum today, it's also striking how much of it is very late-19th century in culture.
Personally, I hope that he will promote authentic synodality as the style and approach to ongoing intergal human development, well supported by his application of CST.
That's a good hope, I think, and most indicators so far from him point in that direction. I don't anticipate an encyclical about synodality, but I will be curious to see how the first synod during his papacy goes. It's also worth wondering how a synodal approach to drafting major texts like encyclicals might happen under Leo.
