He’s not just talking about robots and algorithms; he’s calling out how AI amplifies inequality, war, and the erosion of democracy, all fueled by concentrated power in the hands of a few. The pope argues that when tech is controlled by elites, it leaves people behind, deepens injustice, and lets the rich get richer—while undermining truth, freedom, and fair governance. He’s demanding real oversight, community input, and an end to the AI arms race. This isn’t new—Leo XIII warned about industrial power back then—and Pope Leo XIV is saying today’s tech giants are repeating those same mistakes, weaponizing data and misinformation to manipulate society. The stakes? Higher than ever. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
