Pope Leo XIV sets out papal vision and identifies AI as challenge for humanity
The Pope made clear he is committed to the modernising reforms of his predecessor Pope Francis.
Pope Leo XIV has set out the vision of his papacy and identified artificial intelligence as one of the most critical matters facing humanity.
In his first formal audience, Leo made clear he will follow in the modernising reforms of his predecessor Pope Francis to make the Catholic Church inclusive, attentive to the faithful and a church that looks out for the “least and rejected”.
Citing Francis repeatedly, he told the cardinals who elected him that he was fully committed to the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, the 1960s meetings that modernised the church.
He identified artificial intelligence as one of the main issues facing humanity, saying it poses challenges to defending human dignity, justice and labour.
