Pope Leo XIV on Monday called for the “disarming” of artificial intelligence in his long-awaited manifesto on the rapidly developing technology, warning of “new forms of slavery” linked to its rise.
Leo, the spiritual leader of more than 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide, cautioned against “a race for ever more powerful algorithms and larger datasets, driven by the desire to secure geopolitical or commercial dominance.”
He presented his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas (Magnificent Humanity), in person at the Vatican, alongside AI experts including Christopher Olah, co-founder of US company Anthropic.
“Very troubling voices have reached me about increasingly autonomous weapons systems, practically beyond any human reach to govern them effectively,” Leo said
