Pope Leo XIV Warns AI Risks Undermining Human Dignity

Pope Leo XIV delivered a speech at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris last Friday, warning that the rise of artificial intelligence risks creating a "paradise of machines" that could undermine humanity. He argued that while computational systems are attributed with intelligence, society increasingly fails to recognize the inalienable dignity of human persons, who are often judged by efficiency and discarded when no longer productive.

During the address, the Pope spoke with President Emmanuel Macron regarding the Christian roots of France. He asserted that the right to life serves as the indispensable foundation for all other human rights and emphasized that true peace is built through dialogue and justice rather than a balance of power.
