Pope Leo XIV has decided to establish a special commission dedicated to artificial intelligence, aimed at coordinating the Catholic Church's response to the rapid development of AI technologies. The announcement was made by the Vatican, which highlighted concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence on society and human dignity. The new commission is launched ahead of the publication of the Pope's first encyclical, which will address ethics, work, social justice, and peace in the context of AI. The Pope has previously expressed concerns about the dangerous use of technology and its effects on children and young people, emphasizing the importance of protecting their development. The encyclical, already signed, will be published soon, providing moral guidance for Catholic bishops around the world.
