Pope calls for conscious use of AI

In a message marking the Church's social communications day, the Pope expressed concern about the tendency to blindly trust technology, particularly artificial intelligence. He emphasized the need to develop critical thinking skills to counter the potential negative aspects of AI and to avoid excessive attachment to chatbots.

The Pope called on the faithful to "raise their faces" and protect their voices, understood as an expression of their identity and capacity for autonomous thought, in a context where AI risks homogenizing and manipulating opinions. The message emphasizes the importance of a conscious and responsible approach to the use of new technologies, avoiding completely delegating decision-making and relational processes to AI.
