WASHINGTON (TNND) \u2014 Pope Leo XIV warned world leaders on Monday to slow it down when it comes to artificial intelligence in his manifesto.<\/p>\n

The manifesto is titled \u201cMagnifica Humanitas\u201d <\/a>and states that lawmakers should address the availability of AI with \u201cclarity to establish adequate regulatory tools capable of upholding justice and curbing the distorting effects of technological power.\u201d<\/p>\n

He wrote that the technology shouldn\u2019t be considered as a force antagonistic to humanity and it should be used for good.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew technologies open up a horizon extending in directions that are imaginable but not yet fully predictable,\u201d the pope wrote. \u201cThis complicates the assessment of their potential impact and the long-term effects they may have on both the dignity of individuals and the common good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, faith leaders requested<\/a> that lawmakers ensure that there are legal safeguards to make sure humans control artificial-intelligence weapons.<\/p>\n

In a letter to members of Congress first obtained by Axios, faith leaders make clear that they want humans controlling AI-weapons, not machines.<\/a><\/p>\n

In the manifesto, Pope Leo said there needs to be an open discussion about ethical frameworks regarding AI.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalling for prudence, rigorous evaluation and even, at times, a slower pace in adopting AI does not mean opposing progress; instead, it is an exercise of responsible care for the human family,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON (TNND) \u2014 Pope Leo XIV warned world leaders on Monday to slow it down when it comes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50904,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[24,4788,25,30161,1528,6395,30160,2690,30159],"class_list":["post-50903","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ai","tag-ai","tag-ai-regulation","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence-weapons","tag-ethics","tag-human-control","tag-manifesto","tag-pope-leo-xiv","tag-world-leaders"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50903","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50903"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50903\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50904"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50903"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50903"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
