Pope Leo XIV: Very troubling voices have also reached me about increasingly autonomous weapons systems practically beyond any human reach to govern them effectively.

The majority of UN states support a legally binding treaty on autonomous weapons to prohibit the most unpredictable and dangerous, and regulate those that can be used with meaningful human control. Will your country support legally-binding rules on autonomous weapons systems?

Pope Leo has issued a stark warning about AI in his first encyclical. Cardinal Czerny tells me "Pope Leo the 13th issued his call for the protection of human dignity without real dialog with those who were imperiling that dignity. This time Pope Leo (the 14th) is issuing the warnings in dialog with those who are responsible for AI... this is an extraordinary step forward."

Absolutely sick. The Pentagon is using the war on Iran to test out their new autonomous weapons and AI targeting systems. Just like in Gaza, they are using human beings as test subjects for their lethal AI experiments.

Peter Thiel on autonomous warfare: “You have a human in the loop, but the human can get jammed.” “So the natural fix is to put AI on the drones and then these into more autonomous weapons systems. “Even I as a pro-tech person— I have to say I find that somewhat unsettling.”

THIS IS HUGE MORAL MOMENT… Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, is focused on AI ethics, human dignity, labor displacement, and regulating artificial intelligence. And the Vatican chose to partner with Anthropic, currently in a major legal fight with the Trump administration over AI safety and military use of its technology. Anthropic has publicly resisted pressure around autonomous warfare systems and built its brand around AI safety and “constitutional AI.” The Church is signaling that AI isn’t just a tech issue. It’s a moral, political, and civilization-level fight now.

Anthropic’s Chris Olah at the Vatican press conference to present Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical on AI: “There is a real possibility that AI will displace human labor at very large scale. If that happens, supporting those displaced will be a moral imperative of historic proportions.” Pope Leo wrote in the encyclical, “The pursuit of greater profits cannot justify choices that systematically sacrifice jobs, because the human person is an end, not a means, and the economic order must remain subordinate to human dignity and the common good.”

PM Carney: In his recent encyclical, Pope Leo warned that the scale and speed at which AI is developing, and I quote, "Never has humanity had such power over itself." And he set the challenge of whether we would use that power for the common good.

Pope Leo issued a first-ever apology for the Vatican's role in facilitating and justifying transatlantic slave trade. He made the acknowledgement in his first encyclical as pontiff, which was largely devoted to what Leo sees as humanity's risk-laden embrace of artificial intelligence. Chris Livesay has more.
