Pope Leo XIV calls AI one of humanity’s greatest challenges in first address to College of Cardinals

May 12, 2025

Pope Leo XIV, in his first formal address to the College of Cardinals, called artificial intelligence one of the greatest challenges facing humanity—saying it was the very reason he chose his papal name.

The first US national to ever hold the position of the Pope, the Chicago-born-Robert Prevost, addressing the senior clergy members, said “In our own day, the church offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice and labour,” according to Gizmodo.

He added that he chose his Cardinal name Leo as a signal of his intention to follow in the footsteps of Pope Leo XIII, who he said worked to address “the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution”.
