Pope Leo makes AI’s threat to humanity a signature issue

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2026-03-11 23:05:31

In Brief Pope Leo XIV is making the threat of AI to humanity a key issue of his legacy, challenging the technology industry that has spent years courting the Vatican. The new American pope’s namesake, Leo XIII, stood up for the rights of factory workers during the Gilded Age, a period in the 19th century of swift economic change and extreme wealth inequality led by corrupt industrial robber barons. Speaking to a hall of cardinals last month, the pope said he would rely on 2,000 years of churc

AI copyright anxiety will hold back creativity

During a later visit to a Picasso exhibit in Milan, I came across a famous informational diagram by the art historian Alfred Barr, mapping how modernist movements like Cubism evolved from earlier artistic traditions. Picasso is often held up as one of modern art’s most original and influential figures, but Barr’s chart made plain the many artists he drew from—Goya, El Greco, Cézanne, African sculptors. This made me wonder: If a generative AI model had been fed all those inputs, might it have pro

Object personification is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human agents. In online forums, autistic individuals commonly report experiencing this phenomenon.

At any given level of the building, the compression figure remains constant; the wind may blow harder, but the structure doesn’t get any heavier. Thus, immense leverage can result from higher wind forces.
