Pope Leo XIV has made it clear early in his papacy that artificial intelligence will be a major concern for humanity, citing it as one of the reasons behind choosing his papal name, as the Church faces another revolution. In remarks to cardinals, he emphasized AI's impact on human dignity, justice, and labor. Paul Steidler, Senior Fellow at the Lexington Institute, joins to discuss how the Pope’s scientific background may influence the Vatican's stance on AI. He also shares what role Catholic social teaching plays in shaping ethical AI policy, and why Christian communities should care about the Pope's involvement in tech debates.
