Pope Leo has presented the first major teaching document of his papacy, warning that artificial intelligence must be "disarmed".
"The word is strong, I know, but it was chosen deliberately, because this moment requires words that attract attention," the Pope said.
Pope Leone mentioned the slave trade in relation to artificial intelligence, suggesting that the world risks once again normalizing the exploitation of humans in both its production and use.
'Artificial Intelligence must be disarmed.
The word is strong, I know.
This moment calls for words that capture attention, awaken consciousness, and influence steps forward for humanity.
Artificial Intelligence now demands disarmament.
Freed from the logic that turns it into an instrument of domination, exclusion and death.
Like nuclear energy.
It must be at the service of everyone and for the common good.
"Decisions about technology must never be divorced from conscience and responsibility," the Pope said.
Pope Leo has set up a commission to advance his work, but many questions remain about its effectiveness in the face of rapid technological developments.
