Pope Leo XIV issued his first encyclical on Monday, titled, “Magnifica Humanitas” (Magnificent Humanity), where he declared artificial intelligence (AI) the biggest problem humanity currently faces.
The Vatican leader called for AI to be strictly regulated by its developers and suggested they work to benefit mankind instead of using the technology for profit.
Regarding AI’s use in warfare, the Pope said it should be monitored using “the most rigorous ethical constraints to guarantee respect for human dignity and the sanctity of life and to avoid a race to develop such arms,” warning “humanity is slipping into a violent culture of power, where peace no longer appears as a responsibility to be taken on, but as a fragile interval between conflicts.”
Leo noted that “the growing ease with which autonomous weapons systems can be deployed” makes “war more ‘feasible’ and less subject to human control.”
“Our task today is not only ethical or technical. It is ecological in the deepest sense, for it concerns a new dimension of our common home,” he continued. “AI is already an environment in which we are immersed, as well as a force with which we must engage. For this reason, merely regulating it is insufficient; it must be disarmed, welcoming and accessible.”
During a presentation on the encyclical, Pope Leo said, “Artificial Intelligence now demands to be disarmed, freed from logics that turn it into an instrument of domination, exclusion and death.”
Again, he said, “Artificial Intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word is strong, I know, but deliberately chosen because this moment needs words capable of attracting attention, awakening consciouses and indicating paths forward for humanity.”
The pontiff also warned against AI replacing humans, writing in the encyclical, “The pursuit of greater profits cannot justify choices that systematically sacrifice jobs, because the human person is an end, not a means, and the economic order must remain subordinate to human dignity and the common good.”
Referencing the biblical Tower of Babel, Pope Francis warned humanity could be facing a similar threat in AI, with mankind once again trying to “make a name” for itself through a singular worldwide language and centralized power.
While pushing for AI to be “disarmed,” Pope Leo welcomed Christopher Olah, the co-founder of the AI company Anthropic to the Vatican, saying the church and AI corporation can work together to “find the way for humanity, in this time of artificial intelligence.”
During his time speaking, Olah said, “I lead a research team that studies the internal structure of these [AI] models, what is actually happening inside them. And I will be honest, we keep finding things that are mysterious, even unsettling. We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience. We find evidence of introspection. We find internal states that, functionally, mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease. I don’t know what that means, but I think it warrants ongoing discernment.”

Concluding his statements, Olah added, “I’d like to close with a request. We need more of the world – religious communities, civil society, scholars, governments, and indeed, all people of good will – to do what His Holiness has done here: to take this seriously, to look closely, and to push events in a better direction. We need informed critics who will tell the labs when we are failing. We need moral voices that the incentives cannot bend. Today is just the beginning – the start of a long collaboration between those of us who are building this and those who can see what we, from inside, cannot. Today is a powerful illustration of the form this global project of good will might take. Let it also be a decisive first step toward a hopeful future for magnificent humanity.”

He probably watches his LA made in the USA ni&&er porn of white Blackened bitches on his PC at 3am.
Never trust a religious man. They are all liars.
I for one would welcome a virtual pope. I imagine he would be like a Catholic version of “Max Headroom” on my computer screen, reminding me that I’m going to Hell unless I Paypal some money to the Vatican.
tell him the cubs suck
Quit falling for the AI psyop, dipshits. It’s literally just code that branches out into other code that imitates human traits but it’s not human.
It’s literally just a mirror. It’s not a new life form.
Chris Olah is advertising with his FUD nonsense and retards eat it right up.
Pope has a point though.
artificial intelligence
noun
(computers)
1
: the power of a machine to copy, paste and modify slightly so as to seem original
the creative and copyrighted works of intelligent human behavior (See definition
of “AI slop” for more details).
2
: an area of computer science that deals with giving machines the ability to travel
back in time to destroy the mother of a future resistance fighter.
—abbr. AI
Leo is speaking with a forked tongue on spiritually retarded AI. Lesson: Listen to a man’s words and then watch his actions to confirm if they match up with his words.
One reason so many people think Alex is off the air is because whenever anyone goes to infowars.com it says OFF AIR
…Teams Up With Major AI Company While Saying “Artificial Intelligence Needs To Be Disarmed
Teams up,
As in form a team.
Aggroup, a brigade, mainly a gang.
Hopefully a new version of Vanguards of Conquest will be funded by them.
Yep, “We the elites will disarm AI while using as much as we can”
Something like that.
