Artificial Intelligence: Pope Calls for Broad Dialogue on AI
On his flight home from France, Leo XIV talks about a subject that is close to his heart. Despite all concerns about the risks of AI, he assures: "I sleep well at night." However, he doesn't leave it at that.
Pope Leo XIV has called for a broad dialogue with tech companies, politics, and societal groups on the topic of artificial intelligence (KI) amid growing concerns. He stated that the worries expressed by many KI experts must be taken seriously and that a discussion is needed to address the issue. The Pope had previously published an encyclical on the opportunities and risks of KI in the spring, which received international attention.
He expressed optimism that a dialogue can be initiated, citing the existence of a Vatican commission aimed at ensuring KI does not pose a threat to humanity. The Pope also subtly criticized US President Donald Trump's dismissal of KI warnings as a "hoax".
