Pope Leo XIV calls on AI makers to protect human dignity
The Vatican’s Pope Leo XIV hit AI developers and users with a clear message on Thursday. Both sides share the responsibility to ensure AI respects and upholds human dignity and truth.
The statement came out of Vatican City on July 10, 2025. The pope stressed that AI innovation can’t come at the cost of basic human values. 
“Developers and users of artificial intelligence (AI) are jointly responsible for ensuring innovations uphold human dignity and truth.”
The pope’s comments spotlight a growing global debate about AI ethics and accountability.
No specific companies or products were named, but the message targets the entire AI ecosystem — from coders to consumers.
This follows an increase in AI misuse and ethical concerns worldwide, pushing leaders to speak up.
The Vatican is watching AI closely. It urges all tech players to prioritize humanity over profits or unchecked progress.
