Pope Leo XIV Wants Church To Respond To Artificial Intelligence

Pope Leo XIV who will be officially inaugurated on May 18 at St. Peter’s Square has said that he wants the Church to “respond to a new industrial revolution and to the development of artificial intelligence.”

The pontiff made the demands on Saturday during his first formal address to the College of Cardinals following his election.

“Today, the Church offers to all her treasure of social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and the developments of artificial intelligence,”Pope Leo said.

Prior to the ceremony, Leo XIV, who was elected the day before at the conclave, will hold audiences with the diplomatic corps, and earlier still, with international journalists who have been covering recent events in the Vatican.

He quoted Saint Paul VI, at the dawn of his own pontificate, praying that “a great flame of faith and love” may once again spread across the world, lighting the way for all people of good will.
