Pope emphasized that artificial intelligence should serve humanity, not replace or diminish it, he highlighted AI’s role as a helpful tool but warned of its limitations compared to human creativity and memory.
He urged protection of healthy and fair lifestyles, especially for youth, and stressed that human life and relationships hold far more value than any algorithm. Previously, Leo has expressed concern about AI’s impact on jobs and called for its responsible use, particularly in journalism.
