Pope Warns AI Could Make Civilization Less Human
Description
Pope Leo XIV just dropped a bombshell encyclical warning that artificial intelligence could make civilization “less human,” calling for a moral reckoning in the age of generative AI. In his 82-page document “Magnifica Humanitas,” he frames AI as an “anthropological” crisis, urging the “disarming” of technology to prevent algorithmic domination and war. He also issued a historic apology for the Vatican’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, acknowledging it as a “wound in Christian memory.” With militaries worldwide adopting AI for warfare — something the Pope insists no algorithm can morally justify — he met with Anthropic’s co-founder to stress that while AI is a human triumph, we must never surrender our humanity to it.
