Pope Leo calls for AI systems that don't foster divisions

The pope urged international regulation and said AI should foster dialogue, reconciliation and solidarity, not misinformation or conflict.

  • On Monday, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV urged the development of AI systems that strengthen peace initiatives rather than foster divisions, addressing the AI4Peace conference at the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome.
  • Leo, the first US-born pope, has made addressing AI dangers a central theme of his 16-month-old papacy, warning that uncontrolled development could lead the world down a path of "unending war."
  • Rev Andrea Ciucci, Chancellor of the Pontifical Academy for Life, read the Pope's message, emphasizing that technological development requires a vision "inspired by wisdom and charity" to serve human dignity.
  • The symposium brings together researchers to examine AI's role in peacebuilding and conflict resolution; Leo invited participants to explore how technology can "foster dialogue, reconciliation and solidarity among peoples."
