Pope Leo urges world to 'slow down' on AI in fervent first manifesto

Pope Leo urged governments to slow down the development of AI systems in his first major document, released on Monday, warning that they spread misinformation, prioritize conflict and risk leading the world down a path of unending war.

Leo, who has adopted a more forceful tone in recent months and has drawn the ire of U.S. President Donald Trump after criticizing the Iran war, made a range of impassioned appeals to world leaders in the lengthy text, known as an encyclical.

"What is needed is a more active political involvement that is capable of slowing things down when everything is accelerating," said Leo in the text, entitled "Magnifica Humanitas" (Magnificent Humanity).

The pope called for "robust legal frameworks, independent oversight, informed users and a political system that does not abdicate its responsibility."
