""Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation," Pope Leo XIV posted on X. "It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work--to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life.""
"This echoes the Pope's thoughts on AI that he shared on the Vatican website, saying that AI poses a risk that could make people forget "how to recognize and cherish all that is truly human" as usage of AI increases. Since generative AI has taken off over the last few years, its impact has been felt across numerous industries--specifically the creative arts fields where programs like Midjourney have seen the lives of artists negatively impacted."
"Critics of gen AI have also pointed out how it has further dumbed down the internet with "AI Slop" that has led to a massive increase in low-effort video and music content that drowns out legitimate creators, and there have also been calls to regulate AI and the data it feeds on. Spending on AI is expected to reach $500 billion next year, and some analysts believe that the AI bubble might be ready to pop soon."
Pope Leo XIV urged AI builders to respect human life, calling technological innovation a form of participation in divine creation with ethical and spiritual weight. He urged moral discernment so AI systems reflect justice, solidarity, and a reverence for life, warning that AI risks could erode recognition of what is truly human. Generative AI has reshaped industries, especially creative arts where tools like Midjourney have harmed artists' livelihoods and critics warn of 'AI Slop' flooding low-effort content that drowns genuine creators. Observers call for regulation of AI and its training data as spending approaches $500 billion next year and analysts caution the AI bubble could burst.
