Pope Leo XIV warns against AI's potential to create an 'unreal world'

Pope Leo XIV has cautioned young people about the potential for artificial intelligence and social media to create an "unreal world." Speaking at the Halleluya Festival in Brazil, he urged prudent and disciplined use of these technologies, drawing a parallel to St. Carlo Acutis as a model for integrating faith with digital tools. The Pope emphasized that while technology can be immersive, it should not replace true values and that faith should remain central, even when engaging with digital platforms. AI
