Pope Leo’s AI Manifesto - WSJ Opinion

Most fanciful is the pope’s claim that the mandarins at the United Nations should be entrusted with overseeing AI. He says they “are essential instruments for promoting a civilization of love, for they can foster dialogue among nations and promote the peaceful resolution of conflicts.” This is truly the triumph of hope over experience.

The Church does best when it remains laser focused on protecting the dignity of the human person. This commentary on the UN is entirely divorced from reality.

The UN was born out of Catholic intellectualism in the immediate aftermath of WWII but has failed to achieve its aims because it can’t stop itself from being hijacked by bad actor nation-states.
