Pope Leo XIV has warned against the dangers of artificial intelligence during a four-day visit to France, according to Punch Nigeria. The Pope cautioned against humanity being lost as artificial intelligence develops. The supplied report does not quote him directly or identify the particular applications, policies or practices that prompted his warning.
His remarks place the focus on the human consequences of AI rather than on a specific technology or company. However, the available material does not say whether he called for regulation, changes to the way AI systems are designed or limits on their use. The comments were made during the Pope’s visit to France.
The report does not provide details of the visit’s schedule, the setting in which he spoke or the audience he addressed. It also does not include a response from governments, technology companies or other organisations. The warning reflects a concern, as reported by Punch Nigeria, that advances in artificial intelligence should not weaken the importance attached to human beings.
Beyond that central point, the supplied information does not set out the Pope’s wider views on AI or describe any proposals associated with his remarks. No further details about the four-day visit or the Pope’s discussions in France are included in the source material. The report attributes the warning to Pope Leo XIV and does not present it as a response to a particular incident.
