"To give a true homily is to share faith, and AI will never be able to share faith, the pope said during a question-and-answer session with clergy from the Diocese of Rome."
"The policy explicitly states technology must never overtake or replace human beings and must serve human dignity."
"Insofar as (AI) promotes and uplifts humans, it's good. But it also has the potential for degrading human dignity, Thomas Ryan, a theology professor at Loyola University New Orleans, tells Axios."
"The Vatican is emerging as a moral and institutional counterweight to AI-driven misinformation, even as it moves cautiously on the technology itself."
The Vatican has intensified its cybersecurity partnerships and AI oversight, implementing formal guidelines and monitoring structures. Church leaders express concern over a 'crisis of truth' due to AI-generated content. Pope Leo XIV has advised against using AI for homilies, asserting that AI cannot share faith. The Vatican's AI framework mandates ethical, transparent, and human-centered technology, prohibiting manipulative or discriminatory uses. This initiative positions the Vatican as a moral counterweight to AI-driven misinformation, despite no evidence of a 'truth engine' existing.
