Update
What changedPope Leo XIV has now put a sharper argument behind the artificial intelligence discussion expected during his visit to France. Bloomberg reports that he said advances in AI and other technologies must remain at people’s service, rather than becoming instruments of domination and injustice.
That moves the story beyond an agenda item. The Pope is framing AI as a question of power and human dignity, not merely a question of clever software or economic efficiency.
The remarks add a distinctly political and ethical voice to a debate usually dominated by technology companies, governments and investors. They do not amount to a policy programme, but they do sharpen the question now hanging over AI: who is the technology meant to serve, and who gets to decide when it stops doing so? A surprisingly old-fashioned question, which may be precisely why it remains useful.
Sources and evidence- Pope Says Technology Must Help People, Warns of ‘Dehumanization’: Bloomberg reports that Pope Leo XIV said advances in artificial intelligence and other technologies must remain at the service of people rather than become instruments of domination and injustice.
