Pope Leo XIV Issues First Encyclical Calling for Strict Global Regulation of AI

Pope Leo XIV issued his first papal encyclical on May 25, titled Magnifica Humanitas, warning about the dangers posed by AI.

Pope Leo XIV issued his first papal encyclical on May 25 since taking office. The encyclical, titled Magnifica Humanitas, is 42,300 characters long. In the document, the Pope warns of artificial intelligence dangers and calls on governments worldwide to slow technology development pace. He stated that artificial intelligence must be subject to legal and political oversight. The Pope also indicated that using artificial intelligence in warfare must comply with strict ethical requirements. He believes artificial intelligence systems cannot make lethal decisions. This encyclical is the Pope's most comprehensive statement on artificial intelligence's impact on humanity's future.
