Pope Leo XIV has called for governments to regulate artificial intelligence, warning that politicians and executives must ensure the technology is not used to create “an inhumane and more unjust world.”
In a 42,300-word papal encyclical, an open letter to “all people of good will,” the American-born pope wrote that AI isn’t inherently “antagonistic to humanity,” but that it runs the risk of leading to mass unemployment, which he called “a true social calamity.”
Referencing the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, the pope also cautioned that immense digital power should not be concentrated in the hands of a few private individuals.
