In a speech to French diplomats on Friday, Pope Leo XIV warned that technological development could lead to humanity losing its inherent nature. He pointed out that in a “paradise of machines,” we must urgently carry out ethical education to discern moral goodness. The Pope emphasized that excessive reliance on artificial intelligence could exacerbate the spread of misinformation and called for vigilance against technological dependence. He also mentioned that artificial intelligence could lead to new forms of economic colonization, with poorer countries becoming increasingly dependent on richer nations.
