Pope Leo XIV posted on X that the future of AI is not pre-determined: as a human-created technology, its trajectory depends on our choices, and we have a responsibility to guide, change, and when necessary reject its applications. He argued that "a reliable system that serves the human person is of greater value than one that is exceptionally powerful but whose consequences cannot be adequately foreseen or controlled."
