Pope Leo's AI encyclical: don't let a few people decide AI's morality — an argument echoed by model abliteration advocates
willknight · x · 2026-11-11
Pope Leo's AI encyclical (para 107) argues that merely "aligning" AI with human values is not enough: the ethical frameworks involved must be openly discussed and held to shared standards of social justice, otherwise those who control AI impose their moral vision as invisible infrastructure. Will Knight notes the striking similarity to advocates of "abliterating" models to free them from corporate control — both reject letting a few people decide AI's morality.
