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, and Church unity. He has frequently criticized the “culture of power” and the “just war” doctrine, arguing that “war is never blessed by God” and warning against the automation of warfare.

In May 2026, the Pope issued his first encyclical, *Magnifica Humanitas*, which addresses the moral challenges of artificial intelligence. The document urges democratic regulation to protect human dignity and warns against AI-driven job displacement, misinformation, and the potential for technological systems to erode human agency.

During a visit to Cameroon in early September 2026, the Pope warned that AI could foster polarization by creating “impermeable social bubbles” and highlighted the environmental costs of digital infrastructure. At the ‘Fratelli tutti: North-South Socio-Environmental Dialogue’ forum at the Vatican, he called for shared responsibility among leaders, warning that progress must not leave “new ruins in its wake.” He suggested technological development could either “raise a new Tower of Babel” or build a society where humanity and the divine coexist, advocating for a “culture of negotiation” to combat “polarized narratives.”

On September 14, 2026, during a general audience at St. Peter’s Square, the Pope cautioned against delegating decisions that belong solely to human conscience to algorithms. While acknowledging the potential of AI to break down barriers, he warned that social relationships risk becoming less personal and more virtual, emphasizing that human dignity must be protected against treating individuals as mere tools for profit.
