Pope Leo XIV said that artificial intelligence (AI) is an amazing human achievement, but it should never harm human dignity or get in the way of how children and young people grow and learn. He is worried that AI, especially the types that create content, might change how people see truth, beauty, and the world around them.
He also said that true wisdom is more than just collecting information. It is about developing a real understanding and using the talents that people are born with. The Pope warned that if AI is used by people with bad intentions, it could cause problems and conflicts in society.
Because of this, Pope Leo XIV asked for careful talks and rules to make sure AI helps people and does not replace or reduce the value of human life. His message shows that the Vatican wants to protect human values and make sure AI is used responsibly, especially to support children and young people.
