Pope Leo XIV Urges Ethical AI Safeguards to Protect Human Dignity

VATICAN CITY, JUN 20 – Pope Leo XIV urges global ethical governance of AI to protect young people's intellectual, neurological, and spiritual growth amid rising concerns from 68 nations at a Vatican conference.

  • Pope Leo XIV addressed cardinals in Rome two days after his election, declaring artificial intelligence central to his papacy and highlighting a new industrial revolution.
  • This focus stems from concerns about AI's challenges to human dignity, labor, justice, and the risk of unchecked technological progress harming workers and society.
  • The Vatican is hosting a two-day conference in Rome with tech executives to discuss AI ethics, corporate governance, and the need for regulatory authority.
  • Leo XIV highlighted that AI lacks self-awareness, conscience, and the capacity for moral responsibility. He stressed that while AI should not be unjustly vilified, appropriate oversight is necessary, raising the concern of who should be responsible for its regulation.
  • The event signals the Church’s intent to use its social teaching to shape AI’s ethical development, aiming to protect human dignity and advocate for inclusive, just work amid rapid technological change.
