Pope Leo's AI encyclical

Pope Leo XIV is preparing to publish his first social encyclical, which will address the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and its impact on human society.

The document is expected to warn against the potential for AI to impoverish human life and call for ethical frameworks to govern autonomous systems.

In a notable move, the Vatican has engaged with leading AI researchers to ensure the encyclical is grounded in technical reality.

The launch will reportedly include a discussion with Christopher Olah, a prominent figure in the field of AI safety.
