Pope Leo has issued a strong warning about the dangers of artificial intelligence in the first major teaching document of his papacy, saying AI must be “disarmed” before it harms humanity. The Pope compared modern technological risks to historical injustices such as slavery and warned against the rise of “digital slavery” and AI-driven exploitation. He also criticized the use of AI in warfare, politics and misinformation, arguing that technology should never replace human moral responsibility. Alongside AI experts at the Vatican, Pope Leo called on developers and world leaders to act responsibly before rapid technological progress creates irreversible consequences.

00:00Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed.

00:05The word is strong, I know, but deliberately chosen because this moment needs words capable of attracting attention,

00:13awakening consciences, and indicating paths forward for humanity.

00:20The church has long been working for nuclear disarmament,

00:24aware that every great technical power can affect people's lives,

00:28and so must be accompanied by adequate moral discernment and public control.

00:35Nuclear disarmament remains a service to peace and the dignity of the human family.

00:41In a similar sense, artificial intelligence now demands to be disarmed,

00:47freed from logics that turn it into an instrument of domination, exclusion, and death.

00:55Like nuclear energy, it must be at the service of all and of the common good.

01:01Decisions about technology must never be separated from conscience and responsibility.

01:08Let us not sleep as others do, admonished the Apostle Paul,

01:13but let us keep awake.

01:16Such vigilance is necessary today.

01:18Let us pray.

01:19Let us pray.
