During a visit to France, Pope Leo XIV spoke out against unregulated artificial intelligence, warning it could reshape human life if left unchecked. He described a scenario he called a 'paradise of machines' as part of broader remarks urging caution about the pace of AI development.
Pope Leo XIV has published an encyclical titled Magnifica Humanitas, accompanied by a video presentation, addressing how artificial intelligence affects the human person. The document, discussed alongside remarks from Cardinal Michael Czerny, frames AI's trajectory as a matter of human choice and institutional responsibility rather than an inevitable outcome of the technology itself. It focuses on three central risks: loss of inner freedom despite tool use, erosion of critical judgment amid abundant data, and diminished real human connection in digital life.
