Pope Leo XIV, in his recent message for the 60th World Day of Social Communications, takes a critical look at AI: namely, how it is \"encroach[ing] upon the deepest level of communication, that of human relationships.\" Pope Leo asserts that our faces and voices are sacred, a witness to the unique, singular dignity of each human person.
