Pope Leo XIV warns of AI risks and calls for global dialogue

Pope Leo XIV artificial intelligence risks AI regulation Magnifica Humanitas global military spending

Pope Leo XIV has issued a strong warning regarding the risks posed by artificial intelligence, asserting that expert concerns are not ‘fake news’ and must be taken seriously. Speaking to journalists on his return flight from a four-day official visit to France, the Pope emphasized that ignoring potential technological threats is an irresponsible approach.

The Pontiff called for urgent dialogue between political leaders, AI industry representatives, and social organizations to assess current and future realities. He expressed skepticism toward tech executives, specifically referencing Nvidia, who have advocated against government regulation and strict safety limits.

In addition to AI, Pope Leo XIV criticized the massive global expenditure on military armament. He argued that the billions spent on the arms industry, which benefits a small number of elected officials, should instead be redirected toward solving humanitarian crises such as global hunger, unemployment, and housing shortages.

Regarding geopolitical conflicts, the Pope urged leaders in Russia and Ukraine to return to the negotiating table to find a peaceful resolution to the ongoing war. He also addressed the rise of far-right movements in Europe, stating that such political trends are not an expression of Christianity.
