Taking notes in class is akin to making a transcript of what the teacher said in class so you can remember and refer to what was said in class. The encyclical is a written document, so there is no need for a transcript, and "notes" implies commentary and analysis.
My original title was actually "Highlights from", then I changed it to "Notes on" because that was a shorter title for linking on social media.
Did not expect to get called out for not making it "notes-like" enough!
I think including the Vatican News bit about how the Pope chose the name Leo because he planned to think about AI in the same way his predecessor had thought about the Industrial Revolution earns an upgrade to "notes", personally.
No complaints from me, just trying to explain the confusion. Personally with a 'notes on' I'd expect a full piece of original commentary about the thing (rather than mostly excerpts from the thing) but it's not a big deal.
You made me look up the definition of "note." It appears to mean a short piece of writing meant to be commentary or to share information. OP's link looks like it's both of those things.
