Pope Leo: Technology must serve the human person, not replace it

In his message for the 60th World Day of Social Communications, Pope Leo XIV emphasizes the need to ensure that technological innovation, particularly artificial intelligence, serves the human person rather than replacing or diminishing human dignity. He highlights the importance of protecting human identity and authentic relationships in the digital age, warning against the risks posed by digital technologies that can simulate voices, faces, and emotions. Pope Leo stresses the importance of responsibility, cooperation, and education in guiding digital innovation towards the common good and fostering critical awareness and media literacy.
