Pope Francis says AI – artificial intelligence – poses “a unique set of questions and challenges” for humanity.
In a message sent to the 2025 World Economic Forum (WEF) taking place in Davos, Switzerland, the pontiff said AI is intended to imitate the human intelligence that designed it.
“Unlike many other human inventions, AI is trained on the results of human creativity, which enables it to generate new artefacts with a skill level and speed that often rival or surpasses human capabilities, raising critical concerns about its impact on humanity’s role in the world,” Francis writes.
