Pope Leo XIV has warned of the dangers of artificial intelligence in relation to the proliferation of “junk” information and news that results in a "quicksand of approximation and post-truth", all of which exacerbates what the the pontiff refers to as “the ancient art of lying”.
In a speech to media representatives at the Vatican on Thursday, 9 October, Pope Leo called on his audience to push back against an increasingly “post-truth” world, urging journalists to act as a "bulwark" against “the ancient art of lying” and resist the growing scourge of “clickbait” articles and news fuelled by artificial intelligence, reports The Times.
