Pope Leo XIV addresses Papieska Akademii Nauk

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope addressed the members of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences during their plenary session on September 24, 2026. The meeting, organized by Cardinal Turkson, President Joachim von Braun, and the Academy Council, focused on the future of science in a changing world.

The Pope noted that digitalization, artificial intelligence, and robotics are rapidly transforming the world. He stated that while these tools offer hope for medical breakthroughs, improved food and energy systems, and deeper knowledge of the universe, they also present significant risks. He noted that artificial intelligence could be used for surveillance, manipulation, and discrimination, and warned that advanced cyber capabilities and autonomous weapons could create new dangers if developed or used without human oversight and proper safeguards.
