Pope Leo has released his first major papal encyclical addressing artificial intelligence, warning of risks including power concentration, warfare, and threats to human dignity. The document calls for robust regulation of AI and positions AI ethics as a religious imperative, with the Pope collaborating with Anthropic co-founder to examine how AI can serve humanity rather than concentrate power among tech giants.
Why it matters: As AI regulation becomes a central policy debate globally, the Catholic Church's formal theological position carries significant weight in influencing both public opinion and legislative frameworks, particularly in majority-Catholic nations.
