Papacy of Leo XIV and AI ethics advocacy

Overview

Since his election, Pope Leo XIV has focused on global peace, the ethical implications of artificial intelligence (AI), and Church unity. He has frequently criticized the “culture of power” and the “just war” doctrine, arguing that “war is never blessed by God.”

In 2026, the Pope issued his first encyclical, *Magnifica Humanitas*, which addresses the moral challenges of AI. He compares the need for AI regulation to nuclear disarmament, stating that technology must be “disarmed” from logics of dominance and exclusion. The document warns against a “technocratic paradigm” that prioritizes efficiency over human dignity, warns of AI-driven job displacement, and cautions against “transhumanist ideologies.” He further notes that AI could lead to a new form of “ideological or economic colonialism,” increasing the dependence of poorer nations on wealthier ones.

Global Church bodies have responded to the encyclical. In Brazil, the National Conference of Bishops established a working group to study emerging technologies, while the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) formed a task force led by Bishop Oscar Cantú to provide a moral framework for AI and advocate for safety regulations. In Germany, the Bishops' Conference emphasized that humans must remain the central focus of technological development. In Italy, the Archdiocese of Crotone-Santa Severina hosted discussions on governing technological transformations while preserving conscience and freedom.

In late 2026, the Pope deepened his critique by asserting an “ontological difference” between human creativity and machine-generated content, warning that algorithms lack the “spark of humanity” and could lead to the “homogenization and censorship of expression.” He has also called for a ban on autonomous lethal weapons, arguing that decisions regarding the use of force must remain under responsible human oversight. He continues to call for a “civilization of love” to counter the growing disconnect between technological power and human accountability.
