Pope Leo XIV addresses Pontificia Accademia delle Scienze

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV met with members of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences on September 24 to discuss the future of science in a changing world. During the audience at the Vatican Apostolic Palace, the Pope addressed the rapid transformations caused by digitalization, artificial intelligence, and robotics.

The Pope noted that while these technologies offer potential breakthroughs in medicine, food systems, and energy, they also present risks. He stated that technological progress is never strictly a technical matter and must be accompanied by an increase in responsibility. He emphasized that scientific development should serve human dignity, the common good, and the protection of the environment, particularly for vulnerable people who suffer most from global changes.

The meeting marks the start of a two-day plenary session held at the Casina Pio IV. Participants aim to draft a statement containing recommendations on the ethical implications of scientific progress. The session follows themes previously raised in the Pope's document, Magnifica humanitas.
