Vatican City – In a landmark address, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV has called upon the world’s leaders to collaborate in drafting a comprehensive treaty aimed at curbing the threats posed by artificial intelligence. The Pontiff emphasized that such measures are crucial to preserving human dignity and social stability.
Delivering a powerful message to senior clergy and members of the Italian Episcopal Conference, Pope Leo XIV warned that if left unchecked, AI has the potential to erode the foundations of society and displace millions from the workforce. He urged the international community to ensure that AI development is guided by ethics, justice, and respect for human dignity.
The Holy Father drew parallels between the current digital revolution and the Industrial Revolution, emphasizing the Church’s long history of advocating for the vulnerable during times of upheaval. “We must not permit humanity to be redefined by machines,” he stated firmly. “Man is not a function, nor an algorithm. He is a mystery, being, relationship.”
The Pope’s remarks reflect growing concerns regarding AI’s impact on society. The report by Oxford University’s Future of Jobs states that nearly half of all jobs in developed economies are at risk of automation in the next decade.
