Pope Leo XIV says advances in artificial intelligence and other technologies must remain at the service of people and not become tools of domination or injustice. He warns that without safeguards, technological progress can contribute to “dehumanization.”

The remarks are presented as part of the Pope’s broader engagement with AI. Bloomberg frames the comments around the need to keep technology aligned with human interests, highlighting the risk that it could shift from enabling people to controlling them. Euronews reports the Pope delivers similar warnings at UNESCO, describing AI as a central theme of his pontificate and emphasizing the international setting where the message is directed.
