Pope Leo XIV makes the threat of AI to humanity a key issue of his heritage, challenging the technological industry, which spent years judging the Vatican.
The name of the new US Pope, Leo XIII, set up for the rights of factory workers during the Golden Age, a period from the late 1870s to the late 1890s of rapid economic change and extreme wealth inequality led by corrupt industrial robbers.
Speaking to a hall of Cardinals last month, the Pope said he would depend on 2,000 years of church social teaching to “respond to another industrial revolution and to innovations in the field of artificial intelligence that present challenges to human dignity, justice and labor,” reports The Wall Street Journal.
In attempts to form the Dialogue of Rome on AI and, according to association, to influence governments and politicians, Google leaders, Microsoft, Cisco and other technology giants flew to the Vatican to preach the good word of emerging technologies.
The Vatican has pushed forward an international treaty on AI, something most technological CEOs say threaten to choke innovation.
