Pope Leo XIV warns of ‘corruption of culture’ in the age of AI

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV warned that artificial intelligence is causing a corruption of culture that could change the definition of what it means to be human. Speaking at the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) headquarters in Paris on Friday, the pope said the 21st century requires an urgent exploration of human identity.

During his speech, which he delivered in both English and French, the pope noted that the rise of communications technology carries the risk of spreading false information and words that lack meaning. He compared the confusion caused by AI to the Tower of Babel and suggested that the remedy for this cultural corruption is found in the peace and unity of Pentecost.

The visit to UNESCO marks the first day of the pope's trip to France, which runs from September 25 to September 28.
