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

He urged international regulation as the first AI4Peace symposium examined how artificial intelligence can support peacebuilding, human rights and conflict prevention.

  • 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."
  • Referencing his Encyclical Magnifica, the Pope described God's "plan of mercy" as a "compass in the digital era" for living according to the Gospel, entrusting participants' work to the hope of lasting results.
