Pope Leo XIV warns against delegating human decisions to algorithms

Catholic Intelligence1 min read

Pope Leo XIV warned during a general audience on Sept. 16 that people risk becoming accustomed to delegating decisions to algorithms that should belong only to the human conscience. Speaking in St. Peter's Square, the pope addressed the integration of artificial intelligence into society and the potential for relationships to become more virtual and less personal.

The remarks were part of a series of reflections on the Second Vatican Council's pastoral constitution, Gaudium et Spes. He noted that the perfection of the human person and the development of society are interdependent, and separating them would make both meaningless. He urged people to move past an individualistic mindset to invest in human relationships and to view humanity as a single community.
