Pope Leo XIV, in his inaugural address, emphasized the pressing issue of artificial intelligence, likening its impacts to those of the industrial revolution. His reference to Pope Leo XIII highlights a historical perspective on how the church has responded to social upheaval. The new Pope expresses concern that AI threatens human dignity by reducing individuals to mere data points subjected to opaque, algorithmic manipulation. He cautions that unlike the visible threats of previous revolutions, AI's dangers are insidious and potentially more damaging, emphasizing a need for discourse on its moral implications.
AI is touted as ushering in the golden age of man. Yet a crucial element of this brave new algorithmic world is missing: us.
Unlike the prior technological revolutions, AI poses more insidious, invisible threats hidden in unknowable algorithms that are, frankly, beyond the comprehension of most of us.
