criticizes the normalization of war in a digital world, stressing AI&#8217;s role in enhancing war capabilities.<\/li>\n<li>He argues that the traditional just war theory is outdated and has often been misused to justify various kinds of wars, instead advocating for strict ethical constraints on AI in warfare.<\/li>\n<li>The Pope contrasts a &#8220;culture of power,&#8221; marked by polarization and violence, with St. Paul VI&#8217;s &#8220;civilization of love,&#8221; emphasizing the importance of fostering peace over conflict.<\/li>\n<li>Pope Leo highlights how current geopolitical tensions, exacerbated by digital advances and the diminishing of historical memory, contribute to a revival of warfare, highlighting the danger of forgetting lessons from past conflicts.<\/li>\n<li>He asserts that modern warfare involving AI weapons must meet ethical criteria to prevent a &#8220;new arms race&#8221; and to respect human dignity, demanding human control over lethal decisions and accountability.<\/li>\n<li>The Pope calls on all stakeholders in AI development, including scientists, business leaders, and politicians, to exercise vigilance and responsibility, stressing that peace and justice must guide technological advancements.<\/li>\n<li>He underscores the importance of prayers, dialogues, and remembering the suffering caused by war to create a &#8220;civilization of love&#8221; and to actively resist and counter the &#8220;culture of power.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pope Leo takes aim at normalization of war in encyclical on artificial intelligence http:\/\/thedialog.org\/featured\/pope-leo-takes-aim-at-normalization-of-war-in-encyclical-on-artificial-intelligence\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":221203,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thedialog.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/27112322\/MAGNIFICA-HUMANITAS-WAR-PEACE6-scaled.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-221202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221202"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221202"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221202\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":221204,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221202\/revisions\/221204"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
