US bishops form task force

In brief

United States bishops have formed a task force to protect human dignity as artificial intelligence technology rapidly evolves. The group intends to help establish a moral foundation for developing AI models.

The bishops are engaging with lawmakers and technology leaders to address concerns regarding AI and the safety of children online. This move follows recent requests from several artificial intelligence leaders to slow the development of the technology. The task force also responds to the message in Magnifica Humanitas from Pope Leo XIV regarding the rapid rise of AI.
