Pope Leo XIV warned that a 'paradise of machines' could undermine humanity, as he opened a visit to France, according to NPR.
In remarks marking the start of the trip, the pontiff raised concerns about the rapid rise of artificial intelligence alongside longstanding worries about nuclear weapons and human rights, framing them as interconnected threats to human dignity.
The visit places the Pope in France at a time of heightened global debate over the pace of AI development and its implications for society, an issue he has increasingly addressed since becoming pontiff.
