AI major concern for humanity, says Pope Leo XIV in his vision for papacy

Pope Leo XIV outlined the vision for his papacy on Saturday, highlighting artificial intelligence as one of the most pressing issues facing humanity today. He echoed the core priorities of his predecessor, Pope Francis, and emphasised that AI presents significant challenges in protecting human dignity, justice, and labor rights. Leo expressed his commitment to addressing contemporary challenges, stating, “In our own day, the church offers everyone the treasury of its social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice and labour.”
