For Pope Leo, the risk of an AI apocalypse is a major concern

Leo, who in May called on world leaders for global rules to oversee the industry, is expected to warn about AI again on Friday in a speech at the Paris headquarters of the UN’s culture and education body, UNESCO.

The Vatican warned about the risk of an apocalypse spurred by artificial intelligence years before major American firms sounded the alarm at the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday – a concern that Pope Leo is placing at the heart of his papacy. Leo, who in May called on world leaders for global rules to oversee the industry, is expected to warn about AI again on Friday in a speech at the Paris headquarters of the UN’s culture and education body, UNESCO. ”This is not happening on day zero for the Holy See,” Rev. Paolo Benanti, a leading Vatican advisor on AI issues, told Reuters, referring to recent calls for a slowdown that has been endorsed by the CEOs of AI firms Anthropic, OpenAI and xAI, among others.

”The transformative power of AI … could produce a magnitude of societal changes that are very hard to predict,” said Benanti, an Italian academic who recently took part in the AI summit hosted by Britain’s King Charles. The priest said he could not reveal details about the contents of the summit’s confidential discussions. Leo, the first US-born pope, has raised the possible dangers of AI development frequently throughout his 16-month-old papacy and first discussed the issue publicly on his third day in office.
