Pope speaks out against uncontrolled AI development

Pope Leo stated that AI could become one of the main threats to humanity if its development remains without strict moral and ethical constraints.

According to the pontiff, AI already affects work, education, politics, and even the military sphere. He called for 'disarming' technology—not banning it, but preventing it from becoming a tool of control and manipulation.

Large IT companies were specifically mentioned: the Pope noted that too much power over digital systems is currently concentrated in the hands of a few corporations.
