  "account": "Pope Leo XIV has called for an institutional and ethical framework for the development of Artificial Intelligence. He stated that the ethical principles for AI development are already known, but the urgent challenge is to establish international institutions to implement them. The Pope emphasized the need for common standards, independent oversight, and clear accountability mechanisms to review and potentially contest decisions on AI development and deployment. He also stressed that those affected by AI-related harm should receive adequate redress. The Pope's remarks echo points from his springtime encyclical \"Magnifica Humanitas\".",
  "summary": "Last spring, Pope Leo XIV had already expressed his views on the development of artificial intelligence in his encyclical. Now he is making his demands even clearer.",
