The Pope has urged a clear distinction between art created by humans and works generated by artificial intelligence, according to Anadolu Agency.
The pontiff said that algorithms lack what he described as the "spark of humanity," a quality he suggested is essential to artistic creation and distinguishes it from AI-generated output.
The report does not provide the full context of the remarks, including the setting in which they were made or whether they were part of a broader address on technology and ethics.
The comments add to an ongoing debate within religious, artistic and academic circles over the role of artificial intelligence in creative fields, and whether AI-generated work can be considered equivalent to human artistic expression.
No further elaboration on specific policy recommendations or church guidance regarding AI was included in the report.
