Pope Issues AI Ethics Manifesto

Pope Issues AI Ethics Manifesto

Pope Leo XIV has issued a landmark encyclical titled 'Magnifica Humanitas,' focusing on the moral and ethical implications of artificial intelligence.

The pontiff warned against the 'idolatry of profit' and argued that the development of AI must be guided by human dignity rather than corporate competition.

He called for an international regulatory framework to ensure that technology serves the common good and does not exacerbate social inequalities.

The document is being hailed as a profound humanist manifesto that challenges the prevailing 'move fast and break things' culture of Silicon Valley.
