What was said
"Pope Leo XIV called for the disarming of artificial intelligence. He likened it lightly to nuclear weapons."
In his inaugural 82-page encyclical Magnificat Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV issued a formal call to disarm AI, comparing it to nuclear weapons and warning that AI efficiency threatens human dignity by replacing the 'spark of divinity' in every person with a new god of optimization. Bilyeu notes this represents 1.4 billion Catholics mobilized behind a leader who could spark violent resistance to AI, though he acknowledges the Pope raises legitimate concerns about technology devaluing human agency.
