Pope Leo XIV has issued a significant encyclical, "Magnifica Humanitas," calling for strict regulation of artificial intelligence and urging developers to prioritize the common good over profit. He denounced AI's potential for "domination, exclusion and death," particularly in warfare, and stated that irreversible lethal decisions should not be entrusted to AI systems. The document, which includes input from Anthropic co-founder Christopher Olah, is expected to serve as a crucial reference point for policymakers and researchers grappling with AI's societal impact.
