"Artificial intelligence, the new pontiff said in a recent meeting with clergy, will never be able to share faith, which is what giving a homily is all about. Resist the temptation and write your own words, he urged. But that point of view is increasingly on the margins."
"In perhaps the most high-stakes battle, AI company Anthropic is fencing with the Pentagon about key restrictions on AI use by the military. Huge contract with the defense department are at stake, as is national security, and there is competitive pressure from another major company, OpenAI."
"In his shop, he says, AI is increasingly used to draft stories from reporters' notes, thus freeing reporters to do crucial shoe-leather work. The stories are then reviewed by an editor before publication."
Pope Leo XIV warns Catholic priests against using AI for homilies, arguing that faith-sharing requires authentic human connection. However, this perspective represents a minority view as AI becomes increasingly integrated across industries. Major conflicts over AI implementation are emerging in multiple sectors: Anthropic and the Pentagon debate military AI restrictions amid national security concerns and competition with OpenAI; Hollywood writers' unions resist AI adoption threatening their livelihoods; and journalism schools face criticism for inadequately preparing students for AI-integrated newsrooms. In journalism specifically, AI tools now draft stories from reporters' notes, allowing journalists to focus on investigative work, though some candidates reject positions requiring AI note-filing, viewing it as incompatible with traditional journalism.
