Pope says AI needs to be 'disarmed' | ABC NEWS

Pope Leo XIV has called for robust regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) and for its developers to work for the common good rather than profit, issuing a sweeping manifesto on safeguarding humankind as the technology affects everything from work to war.

Magnifica Humanitas (Magnificent Humanity), Leo's first encyclical, has been eagerly awaited ever since history’s first US-born pope announced days after his election that he considered AI to be the biggest challenge facing humanity today.

During his presentation at Synod Hall, the pontiff said "artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed".
