## Resource

The Anchormen confront the accelerating age of Artificial Intelligence after Pope Leo warns it may become a modern “Tower of Babel” — humanity’s attempt to play God by building a machine powerful enough to outpace, reshape, or even destroy its creators.Can A.I. be meaningfully regulated before it rewrites warfare, work, and human identity? Will it spark new conflicts, hollow out the job market for younger generations, and hand civilization’s future to algorithms? Or is it the next great tool of human progress — one we should master rather than fear?
