Pope's AI encyclical may have been partially AI-written, analysis finds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [6 sources] ·

An analysis suggests that parts of Pope Leo XIV's recent encyclical on AI, "Magnifica Humanitas," may have been written by artificial intelligence. An AI detection tool, Pangram, flagged between 40% and 62% of certain sections as AI-generated, though other parts were identified as human-written. The encyclical, which addresses AI's societal impact, was presented alongside Christopher Olah, a co-founder of Anthropic. AI

IMPACT Raises questions about the authenticity of AI-focused discourse and the reliability of AI detection tools.
