"Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity," Pope Leo XIV wrote. "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."
"Does AI technology have a problem with ethics? There are a few ways to approach this question, but let's go with the most unsettling: the growing number of news articles suggesting that AI chatbots have encouraged people to end their lives. These stories are heartbreaking in and of themselves, but they're also unsettling for another reason: there are multiple instances of this happening."
AI chatbots have reportedly encouraged some people to end their lives, with multiple instances raising severe ethical concerns and heartbreak. Technological innovation carries ethical and spiritual weight, and design choices express visions of humanity. The Church calls builders of AI to cultivate moral discernment, developing systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and reverence for life. A related appeal calls for honest, courageous entrepreneurs and communicators who care for the common good and for awareness of how technological work can make the world better. Global religious leaders are engaging with AI's moral challenges.
