In a groundbreaking first encyclical titled "Magnifica Humanitas," Pope Leo XIV addresses the ethical challenges of artificial intelligence (AI), calling for strong regulations to ensure technology serves humanity rather than profit.
As the first U.S.-born pope, he makes a historic apology for the Vatican's complicity in legitimizing slavery, describing it as a "wound in Christian memory."
The pope warns against the dangers of unchecked AI power, stressing the need to "disarm" technologies that threaten human dignity and autonomy, particularly in military applications.
He emphasizes the potential for AI to deepen existing inequalities and create new forms of exploitation, urging developers to prioritize the common good.
The encyclical draws parallels between the moral dilemmas of AI and those of nuclear weapons, highlighting the urgent need for international cooperation in ethical oversight.
Through his teachings, Pope Leo XIV seeks to engage a global audience in critical discussions about the future of technology, advocating for an ethical approach that safeguards human rights.
