Pope Leo XIV establishes an Artificial Intelligence commission in the Vatican

Pope Leo XIV establishes a special commission to coordinate the Catholic Church’s stance on the development of artificial intelligence (AI).
The decision to create the commission comes due to the rapid spread and potential impacts of AI technologies on humanity, with particular attention to human dignity.
The Vatican announced this decision the day after the Pope signed his first encyclical—a pastoral letter addressed to the world’s bishops.
Pope Leo XIV plans to release a separate encyclical focusing specifically on the ethical use of AI and its impacts on labor, justice, and world peace.
Since his election in May 2025, the Pope has frequently addressed the risks associated with AI and emphasized the Church’s social teachings to respond to challenges related to human dignity and labor.
In June 2025, the Pontiff warned about the dangers of AI being used for “selfish gain,” conflicts, and its influence on children and youth, stressing the importance of safeguarding responsibility and maturity in the younger generation.
