Pope Leo XIV warns AI is a threat to humanity and calls for a treaty

In a recent article, The Wall Street Journal drew attention to the fact that Pope Leo XIV considers artificial intelligence to be a threat to humanity.

In a recent speech to a group of cardinals, the newly appointed pope noted that recent developments in the field of AI are a challenge to “human dignity, justice, and labor.”

The Vatican wants the world’s countries to agree on a binding treaty that limits AI development, a direction that the tech giants of Silicon Valley absolutely don’t want happening—for obvious reasons.
