Archbishop Eamon Martin has urged Catholics to ensure that artificial intelligence and digital technologies do not obscure the dignity of the human person, warning that the Church must “preserve human faces and voices” in an increasingly artificial media environment.
In a statement marking the 60th World Day of Social Communications, the Archbishop of Armagh reflected on Pope Leo XIV’s annual message, which focuses on artificial intelligence. Archbishop Martin described the Pope’s choice of theme as “courageous”, saying it spoke directly to a world in which technology can imitate faces, clone voices, simulate affection and produce convincing falsehoods.
