'Disarm AI': Pope Leo Calls Out Big Tech's All-Consuming Obsession

Pope Leo XIV issued his first encyclical, "Magnifica Humanitas," focused on AI ethics and regulation.

He warned that AI should be governed by shared moral standards, with strong safeguards for human rights, dignity, and creativity.

The document calls for wider public debate and tighter oversight to prevent monopolistic control by Big Tech.

Its message could influence global talks on AI governance, workplace use, military applications, and tech power.
