Pope leo has been seen and caught multiple times now doing the famed ‘6-7’ hand gesture that kids are doing (or were doing, it’s pretty flamed out now)..
But Pope Leo has also taken to speaking out about something else happening in modern society.. AI:
Pope Leo XIV called Monday for robust regulation of artificial intelligence and for its developers to work for the common good rather than profit, issuing a sweeping manifesto on safeguarding humankind as the technology impacts everything from work to war.
“Magnifica Humanitas” (Magnificent Humanity), Leo’s first encyclical, has been eagerly awaited ever since history’s first US-born pope announced days after his election that he considered AI to be the biggest challenge facing humanity today.
In the text, Leo denounced the “culture of power” driving the AI race, especially in developing ever more sophisticated methods of remote warfare. He declared that it was “not permissible” to entrust irreversible, lethal decisions to AI systems, setting up another flash point between the American pope and the Trump administration, which has worked aggressively to deregulate AI development.
He also said there are new forms of slavery coming with AI..
Leo went on to call AI the new tower of babel in our modern world..
All of this as we read news in the past few days about how boys are developing AI girlfriends in huge numbers–12 year olds are not making real relationships but instead falling in love with the machine!
Meanwhile….
But in other news.. we got a Pope leo 6-7 before GTA 6..
