Tech news today is framed by a striking moral intervention from the Vatican. In his first encyclical, Pope Leo XIV urged governments to slow and “disarm” artificial intelligence, warning that a race for commercial and geopolitical advantage could fuel misinformation, worker exploitation and even autonomous weapons beyond meaningful human control. His message casts AI regulation not as a niche policy debate but as a question of human dignity, public accountability and who should control the data and systems reshaping society. Elsewhere, technology’s more tangible edge was on display in medicine, as Hong Kong’s Cornerstone Robotics won EU CE marking for its Sentire endoscopic surgical system, opening the door to wider expansion. And in consumer tech-luxury, Ferrari revealed the Luce, its first electric supercar, designed with Jony Ive—a €500,000 statement that even the most traditional performance brands are being pulled into an electrified, design-led future.
